Sometimes, the best way to shake off a loss is by treating yourself to the luxuries of life. Ebanie Bridges might have had the same idea as she bought herself a brand spanking new Porsche 911 Carrera 992 for Christmas. The car is valued at approximately $170,000 but after a surprising loss against Miyo Yoshida, the price tag didn’t bother the Aussie. 

Not so long ago, Bridges went toe-to-toe with Miyo Yoshida in the undercard of Devin Haney vs. Regis Prograis on 9 December at Chase Centre Arena. However,  she failed to win the fight as Yoshida was crowned the victor via unanimous decision. So, when Bridges shared pictures of her new car on X (formerly Twitter), fans were surprised, to say the least. 

Fans claim Ebanie Bridges deserves it!

Alongside the pictures, Bridges wrote in the caption, “Thought I’d treat myself to an early Christmas present… I saw this Porsche 911 Carrera 992 in The Essex Car Group showroom and thought ‘that’s a bit of me.’ Beautiful rainy British day to really make it pop for the pics.” Since the tweet went live on the platform, it has collected nearly 500K views, more than 3.5 K hearts and a plethora of comments. Despite her recent loss, most people congratulated the boxer.

The loss for Ebanie Bridges came as a surprise to everyone, especially after her win over Shannon O’Connell in December 2022 via technical knockout. However, Bridges seems to be taking the loss on the chin as she penned a sweet message to Yoshida after the fight.
