    Prior to their IBF bantamweight fight, O’Connell labelled Bridges a “skanky stripper” over the racy barely-there lingerie she wears to weigh in, her new OnlyFans account and the fact she sells sweaty kit to kinky fans online.
    But the Sydney star got her revenge by dropping her foe and smashing painful welts into her cheekbones until the savaging was stopped in round eight.
    “Not bad for a skanky stripper,” Bridges joked.
