In a sport like boxing, there is a truckload of money to be made from each fight, and Ebanie Bridges is ready to capitalize. ‘The Blonde Bomber’ is about to enter the square circle against Miyo Yoshida to defend her IBF Bantamweight title. The 9-1 boxer last entered the ring against Shannon O’Connell, winning the fight via eight-round stoppage. 

What’s more, she didn’t just win the fight – she made a huge chunk of money from it. How much? The New South Wales resident made an impressive $250,000 by defeating O’Connell. If her impressive last fight purse wasn’t enough, she is looking at perhaps another big paycheque for the fight against Yoshida. Recently, Dan Rafael turned to X (formerly Twitter), sharing official purses for Bridges. 

How much is Ebanie Bridges making?

Turning to X, boxing journalist Dan Rafael revealed all the fight purses for the upcoming Devin Haney vs. Regis Progrias event. He wrote, “#HaneyPrograis card official purses in my latest #boxing notebook.” According to the California State Athletic list shared by Rafael, ‘The Blonde Bomber’ is guaranteed to make $40,000. 

This does not include the payout from endorsements, PPV sales, and numerous other sources. On the other hand, the much-experienced 16-4 Miyo Yoshida from Japan is guaranteed to make $30,000 from the fight. With that out of the way, Conor Mc Gregor did something wholesome for a ring girl. Get this – he flew in a ring girl to watch the Bridges vs. Yoshida fight.
