    She said: “There have been quite a lot of spars. I was much worse back then.

    “She’s skilful, she’s strong, she’s quick, and she’s experienced, so obviously I’m going to be worse than her in the ring.”
    However, Elle has hinted their skill gap may have closed due to Bridges being sidelined after breaking her hand in her title fight with Shannon O’Connell.
    Elle added: “I haven’t sparred with her recently because she’s had her hand surgery and she has been out of the game for a couple of months, but I am sparring with her soon, so we shall see.
    “She’s had less sparring and I’ve had more sparring. It will be interesting to see where we will be with each other now.”
    Bridges previously revealed how Elle had “fallen in love” with boxing. More
