Sometimes, the best way to shake off a loss is by treating yourself to the luxuries of life. Ebanie Bridges might have had the same idea as she bought herself a brand spanking new Porsche 911 Carrera 992 for Christmas. The car is valued at approximately $170,000 but after a surprising loss against Miyo Yoshida, the price tag didn’t bother the Aussie.

Not so long ago, Bridges went toe-to-toe with Miyo Yoshida in the undercard of Devin Haney vs. Regis Prograis on 9 December at Chase Centre Arena. However, she failed to win the fight as Yoshida was crowned the victor via unanimous decision. So, when Bridges shared pictures of her new car on X (formerly Twitter), fans were surprised, to say the least.

Fans claim Ebanie Bridges deserves it!
Alongside the pictures, Bridges wrote in the caption, “Thought I’d treat myself to an early Christmas present… I saw this Porsche 911 Carrera 992 in The Essex Car Group showroom and thought ‘that’s a bit of me.’ Beautiful rainy British day to really make it pop for the pics.” Since the tweet went live on the platform, it has collected nearly 500K views, more than 3.5 K hearts and a plethora of comments. Despite her recent loss, most people congratulated the boxer.

One user congratulated Bridges while asking her to enjoy her new car.

Someone else suggested she bought the car from her OnlyFans earnings.

Another user wished Bridges Merry Christmas while congratulating her on the new car.

The next user commended Bridges for her choice of car.

One user claimed Bridges deserves the new car and encouraged the purchase.

With the new car out of the way, here is what Bridges said to Yoshida after the fight.

Bridges asks Yoshida to enjoy the win
The loss for Ebanie Bridges came as a surprise to everyone, especially after her win over Shannon O’Connell in December 2022 via technical knockout. However, Bridges seems to be taking the loss on the chin as she penned a sweet message to Yoshida after the fight.

After the fight concluded on 9 December, Yoshida turned to X, thanking Bridges for the fight. So, the Leeds resident wrote back, claiming it was a pleasure to fight Yoshida. “Thank you for the beautiful words. A humble champion. It was my pleasure to share the ring with you. God bless you. Enjoy your victory,” wrote Bridges.

Even though Ebanie Bridges suffered a surprising loss at the hands of Yoshida, the Aussie’s recent purchase of a new car took the boxing world by surprise. However, the bigger question is – did you like her new car? Did you watch the Bridges vs. Yoshida fight?

The fans didn’t see much of Ebanie Bridges inside the ring this year. She fought only once in 2023. Hopefully, this will change in 2024. This year, she had to give up her IBF bantamweight title because of a noteworthy loss. In the showdown, Miyo Yoshida showcased dominance throughout significant portions of the fight.

Bridges, who claimed her world title in Leeds last year, needed a late stoppage to turn the tide, but Yoshida thwarted any such hopes. The judges’ unanimous decision reflected Yoshida’s commanding performance. She dominated the scorecards with 99-91 (twice) and 97-93. But as it turns out, Bridges is coping well with the loss and might come back stronger in the new year. On such an occasion, Bridges posed an interesting question for her fans.

Ebanie Bridges asked her fans something about 2023
At the commencement of 2023, Bridges didn’t do anything extravagant, mainly because of the instance that took place at the beginning of 2022. She posted an NSFW picture, and Instagram removed her post. She was enraged by this and had a breakdown on her Stories. She wrote, “Ok the trolls/haters are winning tbh, eh keep reporting my pic. I can’t repost my pic, last thing I wanna do is lose my account.”

Even now at the beginning of 2024, she refrained from doing anything shocking. However, she found a way to know her fans better. Bridges posted a photo with a caption reading, “Please brag to me about a thing you did in 2023 that you’re proud of.” Above the picture, Bridges wrote, “Please tell me.”

The fans took this opportunity and share their personal stories in the comments section.

Fans boast about the good things that they did in 2023
Most of the fans took this thing seriously and shared stories from their life, while some joked about the topic and made it interesting in their own way.

One of the fans stated that they have stopped smoking this year, and hopefully, they will continue the momentum in the next year as well.

Another fan stated that they decided to retire “years earlier” which allowed them to spend more time with their family.

One fan made a joke about how they became a shield to all the online hate coming towards the famous American podcaster, Brendan Schaub.

A fan shared their story about how they joined a gym and started their journey to have a fit body. They aspire to be happier and healthier in 2024.

An X user joked about how steam cleaning their bathroom tiles is something that they’re proud of. They called that day, a “game changer“.

The fans shared their takeaways from 2023 in the comments section. And most probably, that’s what Bridges also wanted when she put up the question on her social media. What are your thoughts about this? Share a moment that you are proud of that happened in 2023!
