Former high school teacher turned boxer Ebanie Bridges is not quitting on her empowering journey, not because it is uncomfortable or because of backlash. Ebanie quit her teaching job which made her a couple of bucks to land a $250k boxing income.
However, not even that significant improvement in income is preventing Ebanie from joining OnlyFans and enduring some humiliating behaviors just because of some delusional women’s empowerment mantra. While many athletes after such a career change will venture into related businesses to become their own bosses, Ebanie believes OnlyFans is an avenue to make generational wealth and empower her, so she doesn’t mind looking at random people who harass her on the platform for a fee.
EBANIE BRIDGES gave up teaching to become a champion boxer… before turning her hand to OnlyFans.
The Australian, 36, claimed the IBF bantamweight title last year with a unanimous decision victory over Maria Cecilia Roman.
She has amassed a record of nine wins and one defeat since making her professional debut in 2019.
Bridges juggled her job as a high school maths teacher during her first fights as a pro.
Now, as a full-time boxer, she has a new side-hustle as she rakes in the cash on OnlyFans.
Asked why she turned to OnlyFans, she told No Context Sport: “Well why not, for one? What’s the problem with women empowering themselves? Why’s there so much judgement?
“I’ve always been a person who doesn’t really give a f*** what people think.
“Why should I hold myself back and my success back or being able to gain generational wealth because someone’s going to think I’m a f***ing slut?
“To be fair I know OnlyFans is ‘porn’, it was all about that but it’s actually not now. There’s so many athletes doing OnlyFans because it’s all about exclusive content.
“The only reason I didn’t do it originally was because I was still school teaching. I’m never going to go back to the classroom.”
Ebanie initially gained notoriety for wearing lingerie to her boxing weigh-ins.
She also regularly shared racy pictures on social media, before luring her fans into her OnlyFans with exclusive content.
And she admits she has received some rather bizarre requests since coming onto the platform.
She added: “There is a lot. I have a lot of femdom guys, financial domination guys, they just want to be humiliated and abused.
“If you guys are listening, you are pathetic and weak, but I will take your money. But if you want more of that abuse, just hit me up on my OnlyFans.
“There’s heaps of s**t, my clothes, my dirty socks, dirty tights, sweatpants, for £500.
“They do [send pictures of their genitals]. But they’ve got to send me a lot of money to open it. For my eyes to see that, you’ve got to send money.
“When your bank account’s going up you’re getting a kick.
“Why should I get upset or stop what’s good for me because of some f***wit I don’t even know?
“I bet you’re w***ing off to my content though, aren’t you?”
To most women, even some grown adults, stripping down is synonymous with empowerment. To me, Ebanie, changing careers to male-dominated occupations is enough empowerment. OnlyFans is a group of twenty-somethings who are unsure what to do with their lives.
