Australian boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges has faced heavy criticism from fans after attending the Anthony Joshua fight alongside UFC star Conor McGregor in a revealing outfit. The IBF bantamweight queen was part of McGregor's entourage at the O2 Arena, promoting his Irish Forged Stout beer.
Bridges, who previously attended Katie Taylor's homecoming fight with McGregor in May, posted on Twitter: 'Keep an eye out for me ringside with my pal @TheNotoriousMMA and make sure you get a @ForgedStout.' However, many fans accused her of 'chasing clout' and labelled the appearance a 'PR disaster'.
One Instagram user commented: 'Worst PR disaster in history. No respect or dignity.' Another said: 'Biggest clout chaser I've ever seen proper desparado. Cocaine Conor.' Others criticised her for being seen with a married man, with one user stating: 'He's a married man your lowering your self hanging about him half naked.'
Bridges has previously faced criticism for launching an OnlyFans account in December, but she defends her choices, saying: 'It's like when I first came on the scene and I was weighing in in lingerie, it's something different and people can't handle it.' She added that the platform helps her build 'generational wealth' given the disparity in earnings between men's and women's boxing.
