Ebanie Bridges’ comeback fight has been confirmed for January 3 2026 against Alexis Araiza in Puerto Rico.
‘The Blonde Bomber’ announced her hotly anticipated return to the ring on her social media platforms, posting a fight poster on X with the caption: “I’m back bitches. 3rd of January, San Juan, Puerto Rico.”
Bridges posted a teaser video in the build-up to the announcement, featuring a phone call with her new promoter Jake Paul. The 39-year-old signed with Paul’s MVP earlier this year as she started her journey back to the ring.

In the teaser, Bridges picks up a video call from Paul, who says: “We’re just honoured to have you a part of the team. You’re a legend. You’re a beast. You’re a crazy fighter.
“I have an idea that you should fight -” Paul says before his desired opponent and location are bleeped. “Cheerio mate,” he finishes, in the worst Australian accent you’ve ever heard.
Bridges’ return to action is sure to be Box Office with the Aussie raring to get going again. “I really just want to get out there, have a shake about, and then I want to back it up straight away,” she previously said.
“I’ve been left on ice, waiting, waiting, waiting, one fight a year, two fights a year and I’m just sick of that.
“I’m really hoping Jake Paul and MVP can give me regular fights, because I want to fight. I love fighting.”
