Boxing beauty Ebanie Bridges has opened up on her pregnancy and shared snaps from her baby shower.
The Blonde Bomber stunned fans by showing off her baby bump when she made the trip to Newcastle in September to watch her pal Elle Brooke headline Misfits Boxing’s 18th X Series event. The Australian star had been keeping a low profile after losing her IBF female bantamweight title to Miyo Yoshida last December.
Now the former world champion has spoken publicly for the first time about her pregnancy and plans to become a world champion once again. Taking to Instagram, the 38-year-old donned a figure-hugging light blue dress, showing off her bump, as friends and fans alike congratulated her.

One photo, shared by Bridges, showed three friends smiling for snaps as Bridges raised her fists in a fighting stance. Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Sport, Bridges revealed she is expecting a baby boy.

Bridges, however, doesn’t just have her feet up while she awaits her impending arrival. She added: “I’m training. Training what I can and what I can do. Trying to keep myself fit and sane I’m in the gym.
“I’m training a friend. I’m training for her while prepping her for her fights as well, so helping others fighters as well. While I’m not in full force.
“I’ve got very itchy knuckles, and I’m wanting to get back into the ring big time.”

Bridges joked she’s so desperate to get back into the ring that she’s even missing the gruelling cardio work that comes with getting fighting fit.
“She added: “I never thought I’d say it but I miss running, I kind of wish I could run. cBut you say that to me when I can actually run, when I can actually run hate it. There will be a time for that!”
Bridges added she’s hoping to be back in the ring by the end of 2025.
