EBANIE BRIDGES has hit out at rival Shannon Courtenay for agreeing to appear on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins.
Courtenay, 29, beat Bridges to claim the WBA bantamweight title back in April 2021.
Since then, the pair have continued to exchange trash talk back and forth ahead of a potential rematch.
And Australian Bridges has now slammed Courtenay after it was confirmed that the Brit would be appearing on the hit Channel 4 programme which tests celebrities’ physical and mental capabilities.
Bridges, who claimed a world title of her own earlier this year, competed on the Australian version of the show.
And one social media user accused Courtenay of copying her by saying: “I see Courtenay is copy/pasting Ebanie Bridges again…”

To which Bridges replied: “I hope it changed her a little and she grows as a person tbh.”
Bridges’ only professional defeat to date came at the hands of Courtenay – but the Aussie’s fortunes have turned around since then.
She has picked up three successive wins which culminated in a world title triumph over Maria Cecilia Roman in Leeds five months ago.
Meanwhile, Courtenay failed to follow up her win over Bridges as she lost her WBA belt on the scales.

She came in two and a half pounds over the 118lb limit for her bout with Jamie Mitchell in October last year.
To compound her disappointment, Courtenay was then beaten in a fight where the title was only on the line for Mitchell.
The Hertfordshire-born fighter has not returned to the ring since that loss 10 months ago.
