Australian IBF bantamweight world champion Ebanie Bridges is making headlines not just for her success in the ring but also for her lucrative venture on OnlyFans. Despite making millions of dollars from the site, she has no intention of retiring from boxing.
Bridges surprised the world when she announced her decision to join OnlyFans, a content-sharing platform that isn’t exactly kid friendly.
She admitted in an interview with Talksport that she has made an astronomical amount of money on the site, enough to set her up for life.
“You wouldn’t even believe it if I said it. It’s only been 10 weeks, and I won’t disclose [the amount], but from the second day of launching my OnlyFans, I’ve been in the top 0.01% of earners,” she revealed.
Despite being a former math teacher from Sydney, Bridges is not ashamed of using her good looks to her advantage.
She believes that women’s boxing still has a long way to go in terms of earning power, and she wants to capitalize on her popularity while it lasts. “Why wouldn’t I make money on the side if I can?” she said.
Despite her financial success, Bridges has no plans to retire from boxing, a sport that she admits takes a toll on the body. She has previously suffered a hand injury that required a bone graft from her hip. However, she is willing to put her health at risk because of her love for the sport.
“I don’t even know why I’m boxing, probably because I love hitting people,” she said.
Bridges is immensely popular with fans thanks to her all-or-nothing style in the ring. She is not afraid to take risks and always goes for the KO. Her intelligence, sense of humor, and habit of wearing eye-catching outfits to her weigh-ins have also contributed to her popularity.
Bridges’ hard work has not gone unnoticed. She won Sports Illustrated’s Women’s Breakout Boxer of the Year award after successfully defending her title by knocking out fellow Australian Shannon O’Connell last December.
Bridges has also been using her platform to inspire and empower women. She recently urged women to be themselves and not let others dictate who they should be.
Despite receiving criticism online for her OnlyFans venture, Bridges has also received an outpouring of support from her followers. Many have praised her for being a true inspiration and for never dulling her personality to suit others.
