Ebanie Bridges has weighed in to the debate around Jake Paul and claimed the YouTuber “genuinely loves boxing” amid criticism of his involvement in the sport.
Paul has won all six of his professional bouts, although is yet to actually take on a full-time boxer. And he recently caused farcical scenes at Dubai, turning up at Tommy Fury’s exhibition bout and getting involved with a cringeworthy exchange with his dad John.
The American has even been accused of fixing his fights, with UFC star Terrance McKinney claiming: “Jake Paul doesn’t really do strong PPV buys, he’s all talk, maybe on YouTube he’s famous, but everyone knows his fights are kind of fixed, so the hype is kind of dying down.”

But ‘The Problem Child’ has arguably been a force for good in combat sports too, publicly pressuring Dana White to provide better long-term security for UFC fighters. And he’s also now promoting female star Amanda Serrano, and publicly argued his fighter was ‘robbed’ following her loss to Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden in April.
And speaking on the Unscripted podcast with Eddie Hearn, Jaykae, Tom Sellers and Mike Costello, Bridges argued Paul’s case: “You look at Jake Paul with Serrano,” said ‘The Blonde Bomber’. “I mean, Serrano wouldn’t even be known that well globally or making that money if it wasn’t for people like Jake Paul.
“I think he genuinely loves boxing. He wants to help people. I’m not saying all the YouTubers and all the TikTok stars are like that but you can’t judge everyone the same. Everyone is not the same.”

Like Paul, Bridges herself as come in for criticism from purists unhappy at the manner in which they bring publicity to the sport. But the OnlyFans star recently again proved her worth with a brutal eighth-round stoppage of bitter rival Shannon O’Connell.
The IBF Bantamweight champion has proved an internet sensation in her pro career, regularly stripping down to racy lingerie before fights. And she recently wowed her OnlyFans followers by stripping off with porn star Elle Brooke under a Christmas tree.
Boxing beauty Bridges shared a saucy pixelated snap with the blonde adult actress, and captioned the picture: “You asked, and I delivered…@ElleBrookeUK videos going out on my OnlyFans!” She then linked her OnlyFans page amid a favourable reaction from fans.
