Ebanie Bridges is back to fight in the UK
Ebanie Bridges showed off her hard work in the gym with a couple of eye-popping snaps and told fans to send her DMs ahead of her upcoming fight.
‘The Blonde Bomber’ is set to return to action in the UK next month for a bout at the Rainton Arena in Sunderland on April 18. Bridges, 39, lost her comeback fight to Alexis Araiza in Puerto Rico by unanimous decision in January, following a two-year absence from the ring.
That was after taking time away from the sport to start a family with her partner and British boxing legend Kell Brook, 39, who is himself preparing for a comeback in honour of the late, great Ricky Hatton. Since the upset loss earlier this year, Ebanie has been working hard to get back to her best and the former IBF Bantamweight World Champion has got the fire to show her best in front of her loyal British fans.

The Aussie is a huge Leeds United fan and has a large fanbase in this country. She has staged many of her fights in Yorkshire, as well as her WBA bantamweight title defeat to Shannon Courtenay in 2021 at the Copper Box in London before she defeated Bec Connolly by TKO in Brentwood, just months later.
Looking to bounce back immediately from defeat on her return, Ebanie shared two snaps of her back in the gym working out in a pink outfit, with some strong straps on her bra.
One fan in the comments section said: “Looking fit and fresh, Ebanie.” A second added: “Yes can’t wait! You’ve got rid of the ring rust now!” While a third wrote: “Oohhhh now you’re talking!”

Ebanie later posted a video on X updating her fans on her upcoming fight next month in the north east, she said: “I’m so excited, it’s my first fight on UK soil for like three-and-a-half years.
“I really miss the British fans, I’ve missed you guys, I cannot wait to fight for you again. I’m super, super pumped. Up in Sunderland – it’s a great card – and I’d love your support.
“Come along, support the Blonde Bomber. Hit me up and send me a DM or check out the link in my bio for tickets. I hope I see you all there and I can’t wait to get that W.”
‘The Blonde Bomber’ also added in the caption: “The road back to the top starts now. More motivated than ever. New team, same goal – 2x World Champion… but this time, with my son by my side.”
Ebanie thanked promotions MVP and VIP Boxing for getting the fight on so quickly before appealing for sponsorship opportunities.
