World boxing champion Ebanie Bridges has named Leeds United's stadium Elland Road as her ideal fighting venue. Bridges is set for her third fight in Leeds on December 10 on the undercard of Josh Warrington at the First Direct Arena, where she will face Shannon O’Connell.
The 36-year-old bantamweight first arrived in the UK last year to progress her career in Boxing and beat María Cecilia Román back in March for the IBF title. Alongside Warrington, Bridges was then given a lap of honour around Elland Road at half time of Leeds’ 1-1 draw with Southampton the following month.
Bridges was taking part in a Q&A session with her Instagram followers and was asked by someone: 'Do you think you will ever fight at Elland Road?' In reply Bridges posted a video stating: "I would absolutely love to fight at Elland Road. Anything is possible and everything is possible, so yeah, hopefully."
