Ebanie Bridges teases more bikini stunts after having Eddie Hearn's eyes 'wandering'

So I was used to being on stage in a f***ing G-string, flexing, posing,” she began.“And I missed bodybuilding, so I actually kind of made my weigh-ins like a little mini bodybuilding [competition]; be on stage and pose, and be cute, do my hair and makeup and show off my hard-earned body.”So although admitting that she doesn’t wander around in a bikini all the time, the ‘Blonde Bomber’ described how she felt entitled to flex her looks during fight week.The stunts have attracted attention on social media, with Eddie admitting that “looking somewhere else” is often best during racy weigh-ins.“I feel like people aren’t even f***ing looking at me anymore, everyone’s too busy looking at everyone in the background. They’re all waiting to see what Eddie Hearn does,” she laughed.“It’s another thing to connect with my fans.
