Ebanie Bridges (9-3, 4ko’s) has teamed up with a new trainer ahead of a big 2026 for the Australian star.

Ebanie Bridges captured her world title defeating Maria Cecillia Roman via unanimous decision in 2022 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
Bridges returned to the ring for the first time in over two years in January on a Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) event in Puerto Rico.
Ebanie Bridges didn’t take a gimmick fight in her return and faced a golden gloves winner in Alexa Araiza Mones, Mones was victorious via unanimous decision.
This was Bridges first fight since giving birth in 2025.
Ebanie Bridges and former IBF welterweight world champion Kell Brook are in a happy relationship.
Boxing King Media can exclusively reveal that Ebanie Bridges will team up with long-standing head coach of Kell Brook Dominic Ingle.
Dominic Ingle guided Kell Brook to world championship status, defeating Shawn Porter and fighting greats like Terence Crawford, Errol Spence and Gennady Golovkin.
Both Ebanie and Kell will step foot in the ring in 2026.
Kell Brook is set to come out of retirement to fight Eisa AlDah on April 11th in Dubai, in a tribute to the late great Ricky Hatton who passed away in 2025.
For Ebanie Bridges, her former world title status and commercial draw could see her enter some exciting match-ups in this new chapter of her career.
Bridges has been linked to a rematch with rival Shannon Courtenay, the pair clashed in 2021 with Courtenay having her hand raised.
Another exciting opportunity could be fellow Australian fighter Cherneka Johnson who is the current undisputed world bantamweight champion.
