Ebanie Bridges has always been known for pushing the boundaries of boxing and now she has gone further.
The IBF bantamweight world champion gained popularity when she started wearing lingerie to weigh herself.
During Friday’s weigh-in for Bridges’ upcoming world title defense against Shannon O’Connell under Josh Warrington’s card against Luis Alberto Lopez, the Aussie not only wore lingerie, but also teased her new OnlyFans account.
In a statement, Bridges said, “I was the first to weigh in with lingerie and received a lot of backlash and controversy.
“But it paved the way for other women in sport to have the confidence to do the same.
“I expect similar controversy on this, but I thrive as a pioneer in the sport and hope to inspire many other women to be able to act freely without worrying about how they will be judged.”
The account would “give her fans the opportunity to interact with her on a 1-1 basis.”
“As well as releasing never-before-seen exclusive content including; professional lingerie photoshoots, behind the scenes training footage and intimate at-home content.
It’s not the first time Bridges has chosen to monetize her fan base, as she’s already had requests for her bath water, socks and other items and she told talkSPORT she doesn’t mind. as long as she was paid.
“Give me your money, that’s my answer!” Bridges said. “You want my stuff, so you have to give me your money. There are a lot of weird people there.
“I didn’t sell my bath water, but I got so many weird requests that I was like, should I go buy pots?
“I did the socks and my feet because it’s fun and harmless. I thought that was funny and they ended up paying so now all the requests coming in I’m just like here it’s my PayPal.
“You’d think normal people would want lingerie or something, but it’s just feet and socks. I get random requests for bath water and other weird things that I won’t go into now. It’s money at the end of the day, if they want to pay it’s up to them.
“I really don’t care, as long as I put food on my table and the bills are paid, I’m happy.”
