Who would have thought a girl from the state of New South Wales would one day make her way to the world stage, fighting among elites of boxing? If nobody else, Ebanie Bridges believed she could! The 37-year-old IBF World Bantamweight champion holds a professional boxing record of 9-1. The only loss in her otherwise perfect record came back in April 2021 at the hands of Shannon Courtenay. However, the Australian queen has been riding a four-fight win streak since then. 

Bridges last entered the ring against Shannon O’Connell, winning the fight via eight-round stoppage in December 2022.

However, the recent uptick in her popularity has given rise to a lot of questions among fans. For instance, how much is Bridges worth? What is her biggest fight purse? And many more!
