Ebanie Bridges will fight Paige Vanzant on one condition amid Misfits boxing rumors Associated PressEbanie Bridges will be the \u201cfirst to call out\u201d Paige Vanzant, should the former UFC star beat Elle Brooke at this weekend\u2019s Misfits X Series 15 card in Houston, Texas. Bridges, who is a former boxing world champion, is considering a move into influencer boxing after not being able to secure another fight in the professional ranks since losing her world title to Miyo Yoshida in December 2023. The 37-year-old has trained alongside Misfits Boxing star, Brooke, and is rooting for her to win at the NRG Arena on Saturday. However, should Brooke not emerge victorious, Bridges admits she would be interest in a fight with former UFC star, Vanzant herself. \u201cObviously, I want Elle to win. But, at the same time, if she loses it means I will be the first one calling out Paige,\u201d Bridges told Lord Ping. \u201cI can\u2019t say there is even a little bit of me that hopes Paige wins because I do really want Elle to win. \u201cIf Elle wins, it is going to be so big for her and she is such a beautiful soul. People don\u2019t understand; she works so hard, she trains once or twice a day, plus she does all of her content. \u201cShe does all of her TikTok stuff, she does all of her OnlyFans stuff and it is constant content creation and I have no idea how she does it. She is a grafter man, I have to respect her for doing it. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do it because I struggle to keep on top of my content, it\u2019s really not easy to combine content creation with boxing. After finishing training, you just want to go home and sleep because you\u2019re dieting \u2013 you don\u2019t want to go out and put on a face and act. Nothing but respect for that girl. \u201cBut, if Paige does win, I\u2019ll be getting in there to show you how it\u2019s done.\u201d The \u201cBlonde Bomber\u201d, who boasts a 9-2 record in the professional ranks, is a social media sensation away from the boxing ring and has over 863,000 followers on Instagram, as well as over 357,000 followers on X. As such, Bridges \u2013 who has also done promotional work for Conor McGregor\u2019s Forged Irish Stout brand \u2013 could quite easily make the transition to influencer boxing like Tommy Fury did successfully last year. With no offers imminently on the table, Bridges admits it is something which could interest her as she looks towards her next fight. \u201cMoney talks. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d Bridges added, while speaking to Online Slots. \u201cI\u2019m at an age where I\u2019ve been a world champion, you can\u2019t take that away from me. I\u2019ve got my belt over there. \u201cObviously I\u2019d like to get more belts. I\u2019d like to get my belt back, but if that\u2019s not happening and boxing can\u2019t make that happen, then if someone can offer me some more money then I\u2019ll go where the money is. \u201cIt\u2019s one or the other. If I had a choice between a world title fight and a lot more money, I\u2019d probably still go for the world title fight because I want to win a world title. But if I\u2019m not even getting that option then yeah, sure, give me the money.\u201d For more influencer boxing matches taking place this year, be sure to check out our hub to stay tuned to all the best fights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
