Conor McGregor is a big fan of Ebanie Bridges. The bantamweight boxing champion is all the heat for McGregor as she prepares to defend her title against Avril Mathie in San Francisco. Ahead of her title fight, ‘The Notorious’ has an encouraging message for the champ.

Bridges has been a champion since 2022. However, will she remain the champ heading into 2024 is the question? There’s no way to tell. She has a fierce opponent in Avril Mathie who has a brilliant record of 8-1-1 in her career. Perhaps, McGregor’s powerful words will give her the boost she needs.

McGregor is known for not holding back when it comes to his social media presence or even otherwise. Whether it’s about berating an opponent or praising one. This time, ‘The Notorious’ took to his X handle to promote the fighter who’s backed by his brand of Irish Forged Stout.

In the tweet, he made sure Bridges knew that he and his brand of stout were with her the whole way through. The OnlyF*ns model and boxer has held a record of 9-1 so far. Her last fight was back in December 2022, that’s when she went up against Shannon O’Connell.

In a video uploaded to her X handle, the boxer can be seen prepping for the match while reminding everyone of her partnership with Irish Forged Stout. The match will be broadcast on DAZN Boxing.

McGregor has backed the fighter for quite some time now. She used to be a maths teacher before opening up her OnlyF*ns and showing up to weigh-ins in interesting outfits. Now, she’s also a champion ready to defend her title. One must stop and ask, how much can one woman do?

Mystic Mac has his own history with boxing, and he was probably considered the flagbearer of crossport events.

McGregor himself knows a little bit about boxing. He infamously ventured out of the UFC to go and fight Floyd Mayweather in the ring. In the 10th round, McGregor suffered a devastating knockout. This handed the fight to Mayweather who’s a boxing phenom himself.
