Ebanie Bridges opens up about pregnancy two months after showing off baby bump, shares what she misses the most about training

Ebanie Bridges surprised fans by revealing her pregnancy during a September appearance at Misfits Boxing's X Series 18.

The former IBF female bantamweight champion has spoken about her experiences, her desire to return to boxing, and what she misses most about training.

The 38-year-old, who has remained under the radar since her Dec. 2023 loss to Miyo Yoshida, is now preparing for motherhood while hoping to make a comeback in boxing.

Speaking to the Daily Star recently, 'The Blonde Bomber' revealed that despite her departure from the ring, she remains active by training friends and preparing others for fights. However, she humorously revealed her unexpected longing to run:

"Obviously my big news is out. I'm pregnant...Training what I can and what I can do. Trying to keep myself fit and same I’m in the gym. I'm training a friend. I'm training for her while prepping her for her fights as well, so helping others fighters as well. While I'm not in full force. I’ve got very itchy knuckles, and I’m hanging to get back into the ring big time... [Also] I never thought I’d say it but I miss running, I kind of wish I could run."

Bridges aim to return to the ring by late 2025, potentially staging her comeback in Leeds, where she’s built a loyal fanbase.

When Ebanie Bridges shed light on rumors of her relationship with Conor McGregor

Ebanie Bridges once addressed rumors about her relationship with UFC star Conor McGregor. The Australian pugilist clarified their connection during an interview with Instant Casinos, emphasizing their friendship and business partnership.

The former IBF women's bantamweight champion has collaborated with McGregor since 2023, promoting his Forged Irish Stout brand. Their appearances together, both online and at events, have fueled speculation about a potential romantic involvement. However, the 37-year-old dismissed such claims as baseless and annoying.

Responding to the persistent rumors, Bridges remarked:

"I think they have this little fantasy that we're f**king, and then they get excited about that, and maybe go have a w**k. I don't know, but that's all I can think of. Because honestly, if there was something going on, I feel like we wouldn't be together in public if we were doing something like that."

She added:

"They want to think it up in their head for whatever reason, for their own little fantasies, or to try and bring me down, or to try and bring Conor down because he has a lot of haters as well."
