Ebanie Bridges sends "skanky stripper" message to haters after hard-fought win

Ebanie Bridges used her opponent's "skanky stripper" dig to salute her performance following her latest win.

Bridges has become one of the most recognisable profiles in boxing on domestic shores, and was putting her IBF bantamweight title on the line against Shannon O'Connell at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. The pair had gone back and forth in some nasty verbal exchanges during the fight build-up with Bridges criticised for her new partnership with OnlyFans by her opponent.

However, Bridges managed to show her superiority in the ring, crushing her opponent to the canvas in the third round en route to an eight round stoppage victory. After retaining her title, Bridges saluted her rival's performance but refused to forgive and forget the comments made prior to the opening bell.
