Ebanie Bridges is one of the most recognizable figures in women’s bantamweight boxing of the early 2020s, blending fan-friendly aggression with a fast-rising championship narrative. Turning professional in 2019, the Australian quickly moved from debutant to world-level contender, largely because her style is built for momentum fights: she likes to step forward behind a stiff jab, swap combinations at mid-range, and finish exchanges with hard right hands. At 155 cm tall with a 157 cm reach, Bridges is not a long fighter by division standards, so her success has come from timing, physicality, and a high work rate rather than distance control. Across 11 pro bouts she compiled a 9–2 record with 4 knockouts, giving her a 44.44% KO rate—solid power in a weight class where stoppages are less common.

Her career trajectory accelerated after relocating to the UK scene. In 2021 she posted decisive wins over Carol Earl, Bec Connolly, and Mailys Gangloff, showing a growing comfort in eight-round fights and a willingness to grind for points when knockouts didn’t appear. The pivotal moment came in March 2022, when she outworked Maria Cecilia Roman over ten rounds to secure a world-level victory and set up bigger opportunities. Later that year Bridges produced her signature performance against Shannon O’Connell, forcing a stoppage in round eight to capture the IBF bantamweight crown. That fight showcased her best attributes: pressure without panic, consistent body investment, and the ability to turn fatigue into mistakes.

The title reign was short but meaningful. In December 2023 she traveled to San Francisco to face elite technician Miyo Yoshida and lost a unanimous decision over ten rounds. Yoshida’s angles and volume disrupted Bridges’ forward rhythm, and the scorecards reflected a clear edge for the challenger. Still, Bridges’ overall record and championship win keep her in conversations about the era’s top bantamweights. Although currently inactive, her combination of toughness, marketability, and proven world-title caliber means a return would instantly matter in the 118-lb landscape.

Tips / interesting facts:

1. Bridges’ best rounds usually come when she establishes the jab early and forces opponents to fight at her pace.
2. She has won both by points and by stoppage, making her dangerous in tactical and high-tempo fights alike.
3. Her compact build favors inside exchanges, so she thrives when bouts become physical.
4. Moving her career base to the UK helped speed up her rise through stronger competition.
5. The O’Connell win was a classic pressure-performance—steady body shooting led to the late stoppage.
