Boxing Bombshell Ebanie Bridges Shocks the World with Pregnancy Reveal After Title Loss, Flaunts Baby Bump at Misfits Event
In a stunning turn of events, boxing star Ebanie Bridges has revealed she’s expecting her first child, sending shockwaves through the boxing community. Known as “The Blonde Bomber,” Bridges has stayed out of the ring since her crushing defeat to Miyo Yoshida last December, which saw her lose the IBF women’s bantamweight title.
The 37-year-old Aussie had been keeping a low profile following the heartbreaking loss, but all that changed when she made a surprise appearance at the latest Misfits Boxing event in Newcastle on Saturday. Fans and fellow fighters were left speechless as Bridges arrived at the Utilita Arena, proudly showing off her baby bump.
Radiating with joy, Bridges was all smiles as she was congratulated by her peers and the media. YouTube channel Boxing King Media caught up with the beaming fighter before she entered the arena, making the pregnancy announcement even more official.
Motherhood is something Bridges has longed for but had postponed to chase her dream of becoming a world champion. In a candid interview with SunSport two years ago, Bridges admitted the struggle of choosing between her career and her desire to start a family.
“It’s a battle I have all the time, and it’s very heartbreaking,” she confessed. “I want nothing more than to have a family, but I’m at the peak of my career.”
With her boxing career still demanding intense focus and international travel, Bridges had previously put motherhood on hold. But now, it seems the champion has decided to embrace this new chapter in her life.
As she watched her friend Elle Brooke defend her Misfits Women’s middleweight title with a unanimous decision victory, Bridges appeared ready to take on the next fight—motherhood.
