A female boxer is trending on social media for her controversial weigh-in outfit.
Ebanie Bridges, a 39-year-old boxer, has trended on social media for the clothes she decides to wear to her weigh-ins – or, rather, the lack of clothes she chooses to wear. Bridges often shows up in her underwear.

Male boxers do this all the time, too. However, for Bridges, she often sees herself trending on social media as a result. Some have called for her to wear more clothing when in front of the cameras.

But despite the calls to change her outfits, Bridges is promising that she won’t be giving it up anytime soon.
Bridges made her comments during an appearance on the That Boxing Show podcast.
“I wear lingerie, I like lingerie, I’ve got massive (expletive), like, I’m gonna (expletive) show it off. Like, I was a bodybuilder for 10 years. I used to stand on stage in a tiny little (underwear), flexing, posing and being all cute,” she said.

“So we need to change (expletive) up. And I thought, well, I’m the girl for it. Because I’ll do whatever, I don’t give a (expletive) what people think. And if you like it, you like it, if you don’t (expletive) off, don’t watch me, I don’t give (expletive).”
