Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was left scrambling in order not to stare at Ebanie Bridges who stripped off into dazzling lacy blue lingerie in her famous weigh-in tradition.
The Aussie boxer who takes on the experienced Miyo Yoshida on Saturday (December 9) at the Chase Center in San Francisco has become a fan favourite thanks to her scantily-clad outfits that she plans for her weigh-ins. Bridges previously stated that she had something special planned for Friday's (December 8) and that's certainly one word to describe her barely-there lingerie.
Playful as she starting stripping off her tracksuit, she soon unveiled a lacy blue pair of lingerie that produced mass cheers from the audience who seemed to agree with Bridges' outfit. Hearn didn't lay an eye on his fighter once as the promoter stayed focused with his eyesight never veering from looking straight into the audience during the weigh-in and her face-off with Yoshida.

The Blonde Bomber is a master at grabbing eyes and attention as her promoter Eddie Hearn was forced to look elsewhere as to not get sucked into Bridges' bodacious body. The Essex native hilariously looked up at the ceiling when Bridges came out for her weigh-in against Bec Connolly in a skimpy leopard-print thong and matching bra.
The Matchroom chief even addressed the ongoing joke following her weigh-in for her fight against Mailys Gangloff as she sported lace pink lingerie. "Anywhere the eyes look, there are cameras everywhere, do you know what I mean?" Hearn said with a grin.

Some fans had issues similar to Hearn during the weigh-in with one person writing: "how do you keep them eyes fixed straight ahead?" while another was stunned as they commented: "Jesus Christ".
Originally scheduled to take on fellow Aussie Avril Mathie in a bout that Bridges coined the 'Battle of the Boobs', the former fitness model was forced to withdraw from the fight after suffering an injury in training.

The 37-year-old is attuned to the pageantry and drama of boxing and has certainly played up to it with fans across the world waiting for her weigh-in with bated breath. While it's a huge part of her fight week, there's no doubt the Aussie is focused on defending her IBF bantamweight title.
