- Ebanie Bridges has revealed she is pregnant
- Aussie boxer showed off baby bump at event in Newcastle
- Bridges lost her most recent fight against Miyo Yoshida
Former boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges has revealed that she is pregnant with her first child.
The Australian, 37, last fought in December, where she lost her IBF female bantamweight title to Miyo Yoshida in a shock upset, and has kept a relatively low profile since.
The Blonde Bomber, who has transformed the promotional game in women’s boxing after launching her very own OnlyFans page, was spotted in Newcastle on Saturday night and fans could not help but notice a major difference in her appearance.
Bridges was positively beaming as she showed off her baby bump at the Utilita Arena, where she was supporting fellow influencer Elle Brooke for Misfit Boxing’s 18th event.
The images of Bridges arriving at the arena where captured by Boxing King Media, and the 37-year-old went on to watch her friend Brooke win the headline fight by unanimous decision.
Reflecting on her motherhood ambitions, Bridges told The Sun in 2022: ‘It’s a battle I have all the time, and it’s very heartbreaking.
‘I want nothing more than to have a family and have kids. It’s very important to me.

‘It’s getting harder and it’s a tough decision to make.
‘I am at the peak of my career, and to stop and have a kid.
‘Not only does that put me out for a year, but it makes it very hard to have a kid with my partner back home.
‘My career is over here, it’s not in Australia.
‘I can’t have a baby, then disappear and ask someone else to look after the baby and head to the UK for weeks while I’m in a training camp.
‘It’s not possible, it’s hard for me, it’s hard for my partner.
‘But, I have to go with my heart and believe that everything happens for a reason.
‘I’m just praying in a couple of years I’ve achieved what I want to achieve and can go off and then have children.’
