Former female IBF bantamweight champion Evanny “Blonde Bomber” Bridges has officially joined Jake Paul’s top-tier promotion. Originally from Sydney and having fought out of Sheffield, England, Bridges holds a record of 9 wins and 2 losses with 4 knockouts. She claimed her first world title in 2022 by defeating Maria Cecilia Roma and successfully defended it before losing the belt to Miyo Yoshida in 2023. After taking a break following the birth of her first child in February, Bridges aims to return to competition by the end of 2025.
Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of the promotion, praised Bridges as a genuine star—a world champion, proven draw, and charismatic personality who attracts new fans to boxing. Bridges began her amateur career with notable success, winning the National Golden Gloves in 2016 and 2017. Before turning pro in 2019, she worked as a high school teacher in New South Wales, Australia, before dedicating herself fully to boxing in the UK. She also commands a significant social media presence, boasting over 800,000 followers on Instagram.
Bridges shared her enthusiasm about joining the promotion, saying she admires the team’s genuine passion for women’s boxing and appreciates working with promoters who share the effort of marketing her, contrasting with her previous solo efforts.
Fan Take: This signing is a big win for both Bridges and the sport, signaling growing recognition and support for women’s boxing. With Bridges’ star power now aligned with a high-profile promoter, fans can expect exciting matchups and broader exposure that could push the sport to new heights.
