Sydney boxer Ebanie Bridges, the "Blonde Bomber", has hit out at her critics after beating Mariá Cecilia Román to claim the IBF bantamweight world title.

That's what this belt represents to me," Bridges said. "That was a tough fight. "With the profile that she's built, now that she's proved that she's a real fighter and that she can win championships, she's in a great position." They're entertaining for the fans. Promoter Eddie Hearn said Bridges now had plenty of options, including a rematch with Courtenay, who was ringside for the bout and criticised Bridges for "flaunting" her body in an attempt to get eyeballs on women's boxing. "I love that kind of fight," Bridges said of the toe-to-toe battle that ensued, enrapturing the crowd.
