Boxer and SAS Australia star Ebanie Bridges says critics ‘can’t see past her boobs’

Australian boxer Ebanie Bridges has revealed she is often underestimated in the ring because of her glamorous looks.

The buxom blonde, 35, said on Tuesday her critics ‘can’t get past the boobs’ and are often shocked by her fighting ability.

Bridges made the remark while responding to a Twitter user who said they were surprised by how well she fights, after she became the IBF bantamweight world champion by beating Maria Cecilia Roman.

‘Was completely wrong about Ebanie Bridges, far better than I thought she was,’ one boxing fan tweeted after Bridges’ victory. 

Bridges replied: ‘You must have been distracted by my boobs and couldn’t see the skill.

‘Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Lots of haters out there can’t get past the boobs… Glad you can see you were wrong.’

Bridges won the match against Roman last month in Leeds, England. 

After the fight, she reflected on her sporting career and told her haters: ‘F**k you’.

‘This belt represents everything, all the heartbreak, the sacrifice, all the training, everything,’ she said.

She added: ‘Firstly, I just want to say, can I f**king fight or what? F**k you guys who think I can’t fight, alright? ‘Cause I can f**king fight.’

‘I can box, I can fight, and I can look hot on the scales. So hopefully I proved a lot of doubters [wrong].’
