Boxing stunner Ebanie Bridges reacts to throwback as she admits I can’t wait to get fat again

BOXING star Ebanie Bridges has jokingly admitted she’s happy to be “getting fat again” after her fight with Shannon O’Connell.

The 36-year-old boxer has said she’s looking forward to some Australian meat pies as she finishes her pre-fight diet.

Bridges is known for appearing in lingerie during her weigh-in as she is at the peak of her fitness.

In a pre-fight interview with Matchroom Boxing, her future opponent accused her of making their rivalry personal.

She said: “Ebanie has taken it beyond boxing by getting personal.

“I will break them and make them stop.

“I think she thinks she talks too much, she forgets what she’s saying, so she contradicts herself every time she opens her mouth. I do not like her.”

A fan was quick to support Bridges by posting a previously deleted tweet in which O’Connell shared her weight.

Along with the note: “Bruh Ebanie made it personal? Hey Shannon, remember that?

“You fired the first shot (and most of them), you just made up your mind and deleted the tweets.”

O’Connell had posted a picture of Bridges jogging in training along with the caption: “I just got this.

Bridges responded to the insult, tweeting, “Damn, I can’t wait to get fat like in this picture and eat more meat pies.”

The blonde bomber called O’Connell about the deleted tweet, calling her a “bully.”

Bridges has also backed rival Shannon Courtenay after she was attacked by trolls after appearing to have gained some weight.

She tweeted: “Don’t like bullies. Meanwhile, she (O’Connell) and her little clan put me to shame.

“I don’t think I looked that bad, but hey, whatever makes her feel better. I suppose putting others down is good for her.

“We all know, after standing up for my old pal Shanny for all that fat shamming, I’m really against fat shamming – especially fighters and when other fighters fat shame other fighters it’s even worse. It takes 2 stops.

“Women have a hard enough time with society’s expectations.”

The pair will face each other on Saturday when they fight for Bridges’ IBF Bantamweight Title at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
