Boxer Ebanie Bridges' Joke After Beaten By Shannon Coutenay: My Eyes Are Bigger Than My Breasts

JAKARTA - Ebanie Bridges jokes, her eyes are bigger than her breasts after being beaten by Shannon Courtenay in a boxing fight.

Bridges, who became world champion for the first time after beating Maria Cecilia Roman last March, missed her first title challenge 12 months ago when she lost to Courtenay.

The sexy boxer was far ahead of her British opponent, but lost in the jury's judgment. All three officials gave Courtenay the win.

The fight certainly took its toll, which as she said, her eyes seemed bigger than her breasts after the brutal head crash in the fifth round.

"It was a real war - blood, guts and heart. My face is not beautiful anymore. My eyes are bigger than my breasts," she said after the fight quoted by the Daily Star, Monday, April 11.

"I love fighting. I enjoy every part of it. What can I say?

"I didn't get the win, but I fought with all my might. I couldn't see for the last three rounds, but I didn't stop! Congratulations to Shanny.

"I showed that pretty girls also fight hard! I hope this cheers everyone up."

The gruesome clash turned Bridges' eyelids purple. The optimistic Australian, however, remained in high spirits in the days following the bout.

"No modeling for a few days," she joked again.

Bridges can now model for the IBF bantamweight belt following his win over Argentine Roman in Leeds last month. The 35-year-old won by unanimous decision to claim the title for the first time.
