EDDIE HEARN didn’t know where to look as Ebanie Bridges wowed the crowd in a tiger-print bikini at her weigh-in.
The Aussie stole the show before he bout against Bec Connolly – months after doing the same in the build-up to her fight with Shannon Courtenay.
Bridges enjoys weighing in wearing lingerie and believes ’embracing her femininity’ will help bring more eyeballs to women’s boxing.
And the Blonde Bomber was at it again as she sported a skimpy outfit in the build-up to her clash with Connolly at Fight Camp this weekend.

The daring look was unsurprisingly a hit on social media, although much of the focus was on promoter Hearn as he seemed to desperately try to avoid looking at her.
One commented: “Eddie using absolutely every piece of strength he had to not look.”
Another wrote: “Eddie’s wife has him well warned lol”, while a third added: “Eddie looked at everyone in the room apart from Bridges.”
Even Bridges herself reposted the picture of Hearn at the weigh-in alongside the caption: “Best meme wins!”
Connolly was quizzed about her opponent’s unique pre-fight antics and joked that she will be asking for tips to improve her social media.
She said: “I need to get some tips from her don’t I?
“I’m definitely going to pick her brains after this fight because she’s clearly a hustler and she’s done a really good job of it.
“We’re completely different women in our approach, I’m a complete technophobe and I’ve only just figured out Instagram but I do need that stuff.
“There’s room for everyone in this sport, there is room for everyone so if she’s not your type of fighter just don’t talk about it, there’s no need to get gobby.”
