Bridges has been out of the boxing ring since her remarkable victory over Shannon O’Connell in December 2022, as she suffered a hand injury before the match. Nevertheless, she made a name for herself in March 2022 by dethroning Maria Cecilia Roman for the world title, putting an end to Roman’s six-title defense streak. Famous for her distinct weigh-in outfits, which often include lingerie, the 37-year-old boxer has captured the interest of fans and Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. Bridges has also taken advantage of her success by launching an OnlyFans page, transforming her accomplishments into long-lasting financial security. Be sure not to miss Bridges’ upcoming bout at UFC 294: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski on Sunday, October 22nd, at 5AM AEDT.

Bridges is set to go up against Mathie in their upcoming match, where they will both bring their daring and bold styles to the weigh-in. While Bridges is known for rocking lingerie, Mathie confidently sports skimpy bikinis on the scale. It may come as a surprise that these two are facing off, especially since Mathie recently moved up a weight class after losing to Ramli Ali. Nevertheless, Bridges is excited to step into the ring with her friend, believing that their styles will complement each other well. The highly anticipated fight is scheduled for December 9 as part of the undercard for the Haney-Prograis event, with Bridges already hyping it up as the “sexiest fight ever.” In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, Bridges shared her admiration for Mathie and their mutual excitement for the upcoming bout. She believes that their showdown will draw in a diverse audience, extending beyond just boxing enthusiasts. With a knockout victory in her last fight, Bridges is feeling confident in her abilities and is aiming for a mid-round KO, although she is prepared to go the distance if needed.
The pair has already started joking around on social media. Bridges tweeted, “Can’t wait to go head to head with your pretty face @avrilmathie.” Mathie responded playfully, “It’s only fair game after I already got your right boob.” Looks like they won’t be hard to spot 🍈🍈😳 😂😂😂 They’ve also been bantering in the Instagram comments, with Bridges teasing, “I’m going to mess up your face #JustSaying #CollabAfterTho.” Mathie fired back, “Haha, bring it on because I’ll mess up yours first.”
The anticipation for the upcoming fight between Bridges and Avril is building, but it’s important to remember that these two have always had a friendly rivalry. Back in April when the fight was first mentioned, Bridges had nothing but good things to say about Avril. In an interview with talkSPORT, Bridges praised Avril’s work ethic, determination, and accomplishments, saying she truly admires her fellow countrywoman. Bridges believes that their upcoming fight will be a thrilling event that will excite the crowd, and even joked that their weigh-ins might break the internet. The December 9 event is also significant for Australians, as Liam Paro is set to take on Montana Love, with the winner possibly earning a shot at the victor of the Haney and Prograis match.
