Boxing: Ebanie Bridges takes lingerie weigh-ins to the next level by promoting her OnlyFans on the scales
Mia Lopez Ebanie Bridges, the IBF women's bantamweight world champion, used the weigh-in for her fight against Shannon O'Connell on the Josh Warrington vs Luis Alberto Lopez bill to publicise her OnlyFans account.
The Leeds-based Australian fighter has made her lingerie weigh-ins her trademark, and now she's taken it a step further by announcing that she'll be offering exclusive content from her day-to-day life on OnlyFans.
That will include professional lingerie photoshoots, behind-the-scenes training footage and intimate home content.
Ebanie Bridges' OnlyFans weigh-in
At the weigh-in for her world title fight, Bridges arrived wearing a T-shirt with the OnlyFans logo on it.
Then, when she took it off, she could be seen with another OnlyFans logo stuck to her stomach, as well as her username.

"I was the first to weigh-in with lingerie and I received a hell of a lot of backlash and controversy," Bridges said.
"But it paved the way for other women in the sport to have the confidence to do the same.
"I expect similar controversy with this, but I thrive off of being a pioneer in the sport and hope to inspire many other women to be able to act freely without concern over how they will be judged."
She has been receiving various weird requests for some time now, which is why she decided to cash in on her fandom.
"You'd think normal people would want lingerie or something like that, but it's all feet and socks," she revealed.
"I do get the random requests for the bathwater and other weird things which I won't go into now.
"It's all side money at the end of the day, if they want to pay then it's up to them.
"I don't care really, as long as I'm putting food on my table and the bills are being paid, I'm happy."
