In a teaser for the podcast, Bridges explains: “I got a second chance at life and look at me, I’m killing it, you know what I mean. I could have gone two ways and be very different. Like I don’t think I’d even be here.”
An emotional Bridges also added: “I’m all about no quit. No matter what I do and no matter how hard it gets, I do not quit.”
Teasing one anecdote in particular, the 35-year-old Australian fighter also dramatically explains a incident where someone “ripped her whole mouth open with a big fish hook.”

Bridges is currently the IBF bantamweight world champion after claiming her first title in March via a unanimous decision victory over Maria Cecilia Roman in Leeds.
She is yet to have her first title defence confirmed and has also teased the possibility of appearing on a reality show later this year before returning to the ring.
Having appeared on SAS Australia: Who Dares Wins earlier this year, Bridges had teased fans she could sign up for Strictly Come Dancing even if she “can’t dance for s***”.
Bridges also remains amongst the favourites to appear on the next series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. Asked how she would cope with the iconic eating challenges, she admitted: “To be fair, I don’t mind a bit of testes.”
