NEW YORK (February 5, 2020) -
Split-T Management has signed undefeated bantamweight Ebanie
Bridges to a managerial contract.
Bridges of New South Wales Australia has a record of 3-0 with
two knockouts.
Bridges will be in action this
Saturday night when she takes on Crystal Hoy in a six-round bout
at the Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana.
"I am Very excited to be signed with Split-T Management, I truly
believe that I am in the best hands of the industry," said
Bridges. "Brian Cohen was always on my radar as he is well known
in female boxing and has a very successful and popular crew of
girls. I met with David McWater of Split-T Management in my most
recent visit to New York and he informed me that Brian would be
joining Split T to work along side Himself and the team. So
there really wasn't much hesitation when deciding who I wanted
to sign with. David who has just been Nominated as one of the
top five boxing managers of 2019, and Brian together will be a
force to be reckoned with and I can't be more excited to see
what we as a team can achieve."
Bridges started out in combat sports in her early years. At age
five, she stated in Kempo-Karate and eventually received her
black belt. Bridges then moved on to Kickboxing and Muay-Thai.
Bridges never fought as it was illegal for females to fight in
Australia Bridges then had a successful body building career.
Bridges then went back to doing what she loved best, and that
was hitting things, so she found a gym and she hasn't looked
back.
Ebanie turned professional on February 8, 2019 with a majority
decision over Mahiecka Pareno. He has since racked up two
stoppages with her latest bring a 2nd round win over Kanittha
Ninthim on November 30th.
She will next ply her trade on American soil when she takes on
20 fight veteran Crystal Hoy on February 8th in Gary, Indiana.
"Anyone that knows boxing, will tell you that the United States
is the place to be, and that's why even a lot of the top
Europeans end up fighting or relocating to America.
Unfortunately boxing isn't that big in Australia, let alone
women's boxing, and there is only a handful of females, which
also makes matching fights hard and we are so far away from
everywhere. There just isn't a big enough market for it. I want
to make waves, I want to smash stereotypes, I want to inspire as
many people as I can and I think America is where I can do
that."
Observers describe her fighting style as a heavy handed pressure
fighter. Mexican Style." I'm short and aggressive, and I love to
fight on the inside."
"As much as I love looking very girly and cute, I'm exciting to
watch and my fights are always full of action,I'm a savage
straight up."
