Boxer Ebanie Bridges says Shannon O’Connell’s son hit her with a disgusting slur after title fight

Boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges has revealed that Shannon O’Connell’s son directed a disgusting slur at her after her victory in Sunday’s all-Aussie title showdown in the UK.

Bridges retained her IBF bantamweight belt and dethroned the ‘queen of Australian boxing’ with a dominant performance over O’Connell in the biggest women’s fight in Aussie boxing history.

The bout turned into a grudge match in the months leading up to the fight, and the pair traded barbs right up until they stepped into the ring in Leeds.

The war of words did not stop after Bridges’ eighth-round stoppage of her bitter rival, with vision emerging of O’Connell sticking her finger up at at Bridges’ friend and fellow Aussie boxer Skye Nicolson – whom she reportedly insulted, yelling: ‘F*** you, s***!’

Now it emerges that O’Connell’s son allegedly gave Bridges an earful when the fight was over, telling the Blonde Bomber to ‘F*** off c***’.

Bridges said on Instagram: ‘When oconell looks at @skyebnic and says ‘f*** you s***’. Apple doesn’t far from the tree cos after that when I went to her corner her son said to me ‘f*** off c***’.

‘Imagine that being your mum tho. I think I’d rather have a mum who was in lingerie like a Victoria secret empowering women tbf but hey everyone has diff morals.’

The bad blood between the pair began before the bout, with O’Connell branding her rival a ‘skanky stripper’ due to her habit of wearing lingerie at her pre-fight weigh-ins.

The 39-year-old also tried to intimidate Bridges when they met face-to-face in Leeds last Thursday, telling her, ‘You’re f**ked, b***h’ – only to have her opponent laugh in her face.

O’Connell also insulted Bridges over her weight before the bout, describing her as a ‘fat c***’ before they stood on the scales.

Bridges was quick to bring up the insults when she was interviewed after the grudge match was settled.

‘Not bad for a skanky stripper I must say, not bad for a skanky stripper,’ she said in her post-fight speech.

‘I’m not usually disrespectful to my opponent but she was so disrespectful to me the whole time. So I can’t really give her that much respect – she can hit but.

‘She can bang. She came, she was hungry, she was fierce. But I was better, and that’s why I’m the champion.

‘I hope the world, I hope Australia is proud of me now. We know who the queen of Australian boxing is. I knew it was going to be the hardest fight of my career, and it was.’
