Ebanie Bridges has been called out by Australian boxing veteran Shannon O'Connell who vowed to "punch holes" in her rival.
Boxing beauty Bridges became world bantamweight champion back in March when she defeated Maria Cecilia Roman in Leeds on the undercard of Josh Warrington's fight with Kiko Martinez. The 'Blonde Bomber' was a fan-favourite in her native Australia before Eddie Hearn brought her to the UK during the pandemic, where she has set up her camp and reached world level.
But there are still fights there for Bridges back in her home country, with O'Connell making herself available after a stunning first round stoppage of Sarah Higginson this morning. Bridges and O'Connell have had a long-standing rivalry, although it generally seems to come one way from the Queensland fighter.
