Ebanie Bridges teased her fans about her lingerie weigh-in as the Blonde Bomber finalises her preparations and outfits ahead of her upcoming fight.
Bridges will face competition in the ring from her opponent Ebonie Cotton on Saturday, but also outside in what is sure to be an eye-catching weigh-in. Cotton is also known for donning lingerie while standing to-toe-to with her opponents.
The competition between the two could very well start before they step into the ring with a lingerie war threatening to break out if the two attempt to outdo each other. The former IBF Bantamweight world champion took to Instagram to remind her fans of the weigh-in and build the excitement.

Posting three snaps of her wearing a daring red number, Ebanie added the caption: “Just incase you needed reminding. ITS FIGHT WEEK which also means weigh in soon. What colour do you think am I going for this time?”
Her fans lapped up her post in the comments section, with one user saying: “So beautiful you are”. A second lauded her an “Absolute stunner.” Another added: “Beautiful and wonderful body.”
But fans also caught the wandering eye of Bridges’ promoter Nakisa Bidarian, who runs the Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) with Jake Paul.
In the second slide as Bridges poses side on to the camera, Bidarian can be spotted taking a glance at the ‘Blonde Bomber’ as she sticks her tongue out and puts up two fingers up on each hand.
Bridges signed with MVP for her comeback after welcoming a child with her partner Kell Brook. The Aussie spent over two years out of the ring before she returned in January in a defeat to Alexis Araiza Mones.
But the 39-year-old has the opportunity to get back on the winning trail against Cotton, who will be hoping not to put as much on display as she did against Molly McCann.
During the weigh-in of their bout, Cotton suffered a wardrobe malfunction as her right nipple was exposed through her orange lingerie – sparking laughter from ‘Meatball’ Molly.
Bridges made her long awaited return to the ring earlier this year after taking some time to start a family. However, she admitted her return might have been a bit too soon.
“I like a challenge and I like to be working towards something. I can’t just settle and be complacent. I’m a woman of my word and when I say I’m going to do something, I do it.
“I’ve learned over my years of success that you never achieve anything by quitting when it gets tough. When it gets tough, that’s when you push.
“Obviously, a win would have made it all much more worthwhile. I was quite down after my fight. I cried a lot.
“I kept thinking about all the sacrifices and all the time spent away dieting, not enjoying my son as much because I’m tired. If I’d won, it would have felt more worthwhile.”
The fire is still burning bright for the Blonde Bomber and she’s already got itchy knuckles – desperate to get back into the ring again.
“But I don’t fight to get a participation award. I fight to win. If I don’t succeed, it just makes me think I have to keep going until I succeed. So I’m back out again soon.”
