Ebanie bridges will face Mailys Gangloff Saturday night
After the game, the 34-year-old Australian fighter paraded around with a Leeds scarf, and then tweeted the photos.
Bridges isn’t believed to be a Leeds fan, but he captioned the photos with: "LEEDS LeEDS LEEDS #MOT @ALAW #Blonde bomber."
"MOT" is the acronym for the Leeds song "Marching On Together", and "ALAW" stands for "All Leeds, Aren’t We?"
Bridges, 25, is expected to get a warm reception from the Leeds crowd after her weight-in antics.
They will be fighting on the undercard to Josh Warrington's massive rematch against Jorge Lara at Headingley Stadium Saturday night.
Leeds lad Warrington lost against Lara in February at London's Wembley Arena. He will be looking to make amends in front of his hometown crowd.
Bridges takes on Gangloff, however, just a moment agoMONTHAfter defeating British rival Bec Consnolly at Eddie Hearn’s fight camp.
In February 2019, the Blonde Bomber became a professional fighter and has made a promising start to her career with six wins from seven fights.
She lost by unanimous decision against Shannon Courtenay in a bantamweight fight for the world title.
Gangloff, who has won five of seven fights she has taken part in so far, has a similar record as Bridges. She will be looking to avoid another defeat in Leeds.
Bridges is well-known for wearing lingerie to weigh ins. She did so during her fights against Courtenay, Connolly and Connolly.
