Ebanie Bridges shares naked photo that ‘broke the internet’ and almost got her banned

Ebanie Bridges is not shy of the camera when it comes to both photoshoots and selfies – but one particular pose almost got her banned while 'breaking the internet'.

The IBF bantamweight world champion, who will defend her belt against fellow Aussie Shannon O'Connell in December, has reposted the snap in question with a slight adjustment.

The school teacher turned champion boxer, shared the snap on her Instagram story to her more than half a million followers with the caption: "That photo nearly broke the internet this New Years and nearly got me banned."

Accompanied with three crying laughing emojis and the hashtag #HatersGonaHate, the Blonde Bomber then posted snaps from training as her camp continues.

Bridges burst onto the UK scene back in 2021 after being edged out by Shannon Courtney, since beating Bec Connolly and Mailys Gangloff before winning her title from Maria Cecilia Roman.

Her upcoming bout is a bad-blooded affair with fellow Aussie O'Connell, who has won 23 of her 30 fights including an ongoing eight-fight win streak.

"I don’t like the way Ebanie has gone about things," said O'Connell during a virtual press conference hosted by Eddie Hearn on DAZN.

"If you look back 10 years ago we never got recognised, we went to all the amateur tournaments and paid our own way, there was no respect in the sport for women.

"Everyone has worked so hard to gain that respect. Doing things the way Ebanie has done them has brought back down."

Bridges took issue with the comment and replied: "So you don't actually think I'm working hard?

"You're saying I haven't had it the hard way because I'm just a little bit different."

Bridges takes on O'Connell at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on December 10 – and will no doubt have the support of the locals in her adopted home.
