It has led her to IBF bantamweight championship gold and a target on her back.

Chasing Bridges, 36, is domestic rival Mathie, an 8-1-1 contender from Sydney.

And she’s made it clear that an all-Australian blockbuster against Champion Bridges is on her radar.

She told talkSPORT: “I think [Ebanie] is very intelligent and I take my hat off to her.

“It’s going to be a killer fight, I’m really looking forward to it. She brings it along and likes to step forward and never really takes a step back.

“But I can also hit and come forward. So I think there will be fireworks and it will be an exciting fight.

“I’m significantly taller than her so for me it’s going to be about keeping her away from me, which will be a challenge because we’ve seen her like coming in.

“But it’s one I’m ready for, so as soon as her hand gets better we can put it on.”

Mathie, 35, started boxing as an amateur in 2012 and had 20 fights before turning pro in 2017.

But her talents don’t just lie in being successful as a fitness model.

Mathie won Miss Swimsuit USA International in 2014 and a year later the $50,000 Las Vegas International Model Search.

Described as “Australia’s most successful pageant model of all time”, she continued her work during the fight.

Unfortunately for Mathie – who has an OnlyFans account – she lost her last fight over the weekend to Ramla Ali, her first loss in ten fights.
