Australian professional boxer Ebanie Bridges has set the record straight after a ‘catfish’ in Wales stole her photos and made a Tinder profile.
Bridges, nicknamed the ‘Blonde Bomber,’ boasts a professional boxing record of eight fights, seven victories with three of those by way of knockout.
If her boxing career was to fall flat, Bridges would have a future in modelling if she wanted it. The fighter has previously posted some rather seductive snaps on her Instagram page.

Unfortunately, when you share photos of this nature into the public domain there will be those who cannot resist misusing them, as has been the case here.
The Blonde Bomber was forced to take to Instagram to share a screenshot of a Tinder profile using her photos, clarifying that it wasn’t her.
The University of South Wales has campuses in Cardiff, Newport and Pontypridd, some way from Bridges’ native Australia.
You wonder what people stand to gain from creating ‘catfish’ accounts of this nature, posing as someone other than themselves.
It does often seem to be a desperate cry for attention. With Bridges having shared the profile with her 325k+ followers on Instagram, it’ll be mission accomplished from the catfish’s perspective…
