Ebanie Bridges has opened up on how she helped her boxer boyfriend Kell Brook<\/a>\u00a0defeat his inner demons after the former world champion revealed that she ‘saved his life’.<\/p>\n

The boxing power couple – who both won world titles during their careers – went public wth their relationship earlier this year after announcing the birth of Ezerra Ray, their first child.<\/p>\n

Brook offered a glimpse into his relationship with Bridges last month when the 39-year-old revealed he had been struggling with addiction and depression<\/a>\u00a0issues for years and that the Australian has been a key figure in his recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘She got me out of that darkness. She saved my life, really and truthfully.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

He made the comments ahead of his return to the ring in February against Eisa Al Dah, who had been scheduled to face the late boxing legend Ricky Hatton<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bridges said that Brook’s openness was a touching moment for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bridges says her partner was heading down the same road as Ricky Hatton<\/p>\n

‘It made me feel appreciated and it was just lovely to hear that, and for him to make that public,’ she told Fox Sports Australia<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The way he was headed with his lifestyle, addiction and mental health issues, there was high chances he would end up like Ricky Hatton.<\/p>\n

‘Everyone around him has told me that if it wasn’t for you I don’t think Kell would still be here.<\/p>\n

‘When you pull someone out of darkness and away from the anchors of addiction, and help them build a new life, I guess it is saving them.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bridges also told Boxing King Media<\/a> that Brook was ‘possessed by the devil’.<\/p>\n

‘I saw the person, the man he is underneath. I could see that he was possessed by this devil – addiction and depression. I could see what was underneath and I wanted to bring that out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘To hear that, it was nice for Kell. And it was also because, Kell, he’s a very, very private person. So for him to talk about me in that (way)\u2026it’s very private and deep for him.<\/p>\n

‘So for him to come out about that was really lovely.’<\/p>\n
