PORN STAR Kendra Lust has weighed in on the beef between boxing rivals Ebanie Bridges and Shannon O’Connell.
Australian Bridges, 36, will defend her IBF bantamweight title against her fellow countrywoman in Leeds on December 10.
O’Connell, 39, has been vocal about Bridges’ conduct in the public eye, referencing her antics such as wearing a bra and knickers to her weigh-ins and sharing racy pictures online.
She has labelled Bridges “trash” and a “skanky stripper”.
And when O’Connell was asked her opinion of her, she added: “I genuinely dislike her, but I’ve never actually met her.
“I don’t understand why she deserves anything. What, because she gets her clothes off? Ok.”

Bridges then responded to those comments on Tuesday.
Speaking on Twitter, she said: “Hey @shotgunshannon1 remember after your last fight you were upset I was pretending I didn’t know who you were?
“Well I knew who you were, just didn’t want to give you free exposure.
“I’ve listened to you trash talk me for two years and looking forward to showing you what this sKaNkY sTriPpeR can do in eight weeks.”

And Bridges then received back-up from porn star Lust who called on O’Connell to clarify her comments.
Lust said: “So whats make u special @shotgunshannon1. You can judge and shame a woman for being sexy?”
This is not the first time Lust has involved herself in combat sports.
Last month, she sponsored bare knuckle fighter Tai Emery after she flashed her boobs following a knockout win.
Meanwhile, Bridges will seek to successfully defend her world title against O’Connell when the pair step into the ring in December.
Bridges won the IBF strap after defeating Maria Cecilia Roman in March and has not fought since.
She boasts a record of eight wins and one defeat since turning professional in 2019.
Her opponent O’Connell, who has been a pro eight years longer than Bridges, has a record of 23 wins, six defeats and one draw.
