EBANIE BRIDGES revealed she was almost banned from social media due to a near-naked picture.
The photo was shared on Bridges’ Instagram story with the Aussie covering up her private parts with just a pair of boxing gloves and an emoji.
She wrote: “That photo nearly broke the internet this New Years and nearly got me banned.”
Bridges, renowned for her racy lingerie at weigh-ins, returns on December 10, defending her bantamweight title.
She does so against Aussie rival Shannon O’Connell in Leeds.
And O’Connell, 39, came out with fighting talk and tool aim at Bridges, 36, in a blistering attack.
She said: “I don’t like the way Ebanie has gone about things.
“We never got recognised and there was no respect in the sport for women.
“And I believe that people like Katie Taylor… everyone has worked so hard to gain that respect and then doing things the way Ebanie has done them has brought them back down.”

But Bridges hit back: “You’re saying I haven’t had it the hard way because I’m just a little bit different.”
O’Connell then said: “Well because you get your clothes off to be seen.”
Bridges received support in the spat by Pornstar Kendra Lust
Lust tweeted O’Connell: “Remember after your last fight you were upset I was pretending I didn’t know who you were?
“Well I knew who you were, just didn’t want to give you free exposure.
“I’ve listened to you trash talk me for two years and looking forward to showing you what this sKaNkY sTriPpeR can do.”
