Bridges ranted: "I would like to say, 'Can I f****** fight or not?'

"I'm about entertaining and for me that was so fun. It was tough, she was the champion and she brought it and that was awesome.

"It was a great fight, I enjoyed it and I'm just grateful and blessed that I was able to become world champion in this beautiful city of Leeds."

Promoter Eddie Hearn reiterated Bridges' stance and defended her rise to the top.

He added: "There were a lot of people who felt when Ebanie came into the sport that it was a gimmick and about driving followers but there was method to the madness.

"What they don't see is the dedication and she has really applied herself.

"She didn't get an easy title shot, she didn't get a vacant title shot, she fought the longest-reigning champion in the division."
