STUNNING: Ebanie Bridges’ Lingerie Weigh-In STEALS Jake Paul’s Spotlight!
The boxing world is buzzing after Ebanie Bridges, the “Blonde Bomber,” made a sensational return to the ring under Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), with her signature lingerie weigh-in stealing the spotlight. The 38-year-old Australian, who signed with MVP in July 2025, announced her return after a nearly two-year hiatus following her December 2023 loss to Miyo Yoshida. At a recent press event for her upcoming fight, Bridges wowed fans and the media, stepping on the scale in a daring, sheer lingerie ensemble that left jaws on the floor and overshadowed Paul’s own promotional antics. Social media, particularly X, exploded with reactions, with fans calling her weigh-in “The Real Main Event.”
Bridges, a former IBF bantamweight champion, has been known for his provocative weigh-in outfits, a tradition that has drawn both praise and criticism. His latest appearance, complete with a playful smile and a championship belt draped over his shoulder, reaffirmed his status as a marketing genius. “It’s about confidence, not just the looks,” said The Daily Star, explaining his choice of a black lace ensemble that sparked an online frenzy. The moment shifted focus from Paul, whose YouTube-turned-boxing career typically dominates the headlines, with one user X joking, “Jake Who? Ebanie is running the show now!”
The event marked Bridges’ return after retiring to start a family with fellow boxer Kell Brook, welcoming their son in February 2025. Now training rigorously for a planned December 2025 fight, he has joined the stagnant list of MVPs, including Amanda Serrano and Alycia Baumgardner. Bridges praised MVP’s investment in women’s boxing, saying, “Jake and his team are elevating the sport for all the right reasons.” However, his weigh-in ensured that it overshadowed Paul’s promotional efforts for the card, which includes his fight against an unnamed opponent. Fans at X speculated about potential matchups, with names like Astrid Wett surfacing after Bridges’ earlier callout.
Paul, no stranger to generating buzz, seemed unfazed, even embracing the attention Bridges brought MVP. “Ebanie is a star, and we’re thrilled to have her,” he told Ring Magazine. However, critics argue that Bridges’ spectacle risks overshadowing his talent in the ring, where he holds a 9-2 record with four knockouts. His 2022 stoppage of Shannon O’Connell proved his mettle, yet some, like former rival O’Connell, have called his weigh-in a “gimmick.” Bridges dismissed such criticism, stating, “I’m a fighter first, but I know how to sell a show.”
As Bridges prepares for his return, his weigh-in has reignited debates about marketability versus merit in boxing. With MVP’s endorsement and his undeniable charisma, he’s poised to make waves, both in and out of the ring. The question remains whether his in-ring performance will match the hype of his dazzling heavyweights, but for now, Bridges has proven he can steal the spotlight, even from a showman like Jake Paul.
