Aussie world champ Ebanie Bridges makes startling confession about Francis Ngannou – and has a hilarious answer to fan's question about fighting with big breasts

Australian boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges has revealed that she’s never heard of Tyson Fury‘s next opponent, MMA heavyweight superstar Francis Ngannou.

The Blonde Bomber took to Instagram on Wednesday to do a Q and A session with her fans, where she answered a wide range of questions. 

One fan asked what she thought of Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion who Tyson Fury will be locking horns with in the Middle East on October 28.

Bridges confessed that Ngannou wasn’t somebody who was on her radar, responding candidly: ‘To be honest I’ve never heard of the guy, never seen him. So, I don’t know.’

A UFC star that Bridges had heard of is former fighter Paige VanZant – who she said she’d like to do an OnlyFans collaboration with.

Both athletes have used their social media platforms to become two of the most popular female fighters in the world of combat sports.

‘We were actually talking about that (a collaboration),’ Bridges told her followers on Instagram. 

‘We were trying to organise it but she got really busy and I moved, so many things. Hopefully we can get back on track because I would love to collab with Paige VanZant. 

‘That would be f***ing sexy.’

This is not the first time Bridges has spoken about working with VanZant, telling press in 2022 that she’d like to face her in a bare knuckle boxing contest.

Another fan asked if having large breasts hindered her ability to fight.

‘Yes they blind my opponent,’ fired back Bridges.

She added later: ‘(It’s) Definitely not hard boxing with big boobs but I can think of some things that might be hard because of the big boobs.’

Earlier in the week, the IBF bantamweight champion weighed in on the debate over OnlyFans star Daniella Hemsley flashing the crowd after winning her first boxing bout.

Hemsley apologised for her astonishing actions in her post-fight interview, saying emotions just got the better of her – but she was quickly criticised by some of the sport’s biggest names.

Bridges, who is well-known for wearing racy lingerie at weigh-ins, didn’t think the celebration was bad for women in the sport, insisting ‘influencer boxing’ is different.

‘I think tonight all y’all that complain / about me & say I ‘show my t**s’ saw what ‘showing your t**s’ actually looks like… something I’d never do,’ Bridges tweeted.

‘There is weighing in in Underwear like everyone else… but having big boobs…. And then there’s actually showing ur t**s on TV.

‘I get why she’s done it… she’s an ‘influencer’ it’s all about views & she knows it would break the internet, get views & everyone would be talking about it. So she has succeeded in that… it’s influencer boxing their goal is to break the internet.

‘But now please stop saying I show my t*s LOL cos i f***en don’t. And I don’t need to to break the internet I do that clothed.

‘Ps – she had great boobs tbf hahaha & anyone who is going on about how it’s bad for women’s boxing – firstly it’s influencer boxing & secondly, it’s really not going to effect it, let’s be real. All it’s gonna do is get that influencer more exposure, more followers & more money.’
