Ebanie Bridges and her pro boxing acumen

Bridges looks to make the second defense of her IBF world bantamweight title this weekend.

Ebanie Bridges captured the gold in March of last year by besting Maria Cecilia Roman by way of a unanimous decision. The first defense of her crown came in December of last year when Bridges halted Shannon O'Connell in the eighth round.

Her return to the ring comes just shy day of marking a full year away from the ring as the December 9th, 2023 bout marks the return since following her December 10th, 2022 bout.

The 118-pound champion is riding a four-fight winning streak heading into this bantamweight bout.

Bridges has also previously captured the Australian National Boxing Federation Australasian Super Bantam in a vacant title showdown in March 2021. Ebanie Brides has a professional boxing record of nine wins with four stoppages opposite one loss. The lone defeat came in a bid for the WBA bantamweight world title when she dropped a points loss to Shannon Courtenay.
