Ebanie Bridges opens up on the weirdest requests she's received from fans

The Aussie boxer has shed some light on her side hustle.

Ebanie Bridges get some rather strange requests from thirsty fans online.

No, like, proper weird.

When she's not winning world titles inside the ring, the Aussie boxer is making an absolute fortune from her side hustles.

Mainly selling various bits of clothing to people on the internet – including her used, sweaty training socks.

Sadly, in this day and age, it's no surprise that fans are willing to pay extortionate amounts of money for these sorts of things.

Now Bridges has revealed some of the bizarre requests she has received throughout the years.

"Really? You really want to know?" she told Ray Parlour and Alan Brazil on Pub Talk.

"This is pretty full-on but the strangest request I got was a fan inboxed me and asked me if I could meet up with him and his friends and *beep* *beep*. While he *beep*. And if I wanted to watch, if I'm into that kind of thing, then I can."

Yes, the sentence was bleeped out but you can only begin to imagine what was said.

"Other than that I get asked for bath water, toe-nail clippings, sweat," she added.

Bridges is clearly very talented inside the squared-circle, recently becoming the IBF bantamweight champion, but its the things she does outside of boxing which has people talking too.

The former Maths teacher-turned-athlete has become renowned for turning up to her weigh-ins wearing lingerie.

She has often been criticised for doing so, sometimes by her rival fighters, but the Australian says she isn't interested in anyone else's opinion.

"I ignore it. Anyone who is successful, they’re going to get the jealousy, the hate, people will try to drag you down," Bridges added.

"That’s just normal. The people talking s***, they don’t know me, so why should I sit there and get emotional and bothered by someone who has never met me?

"I’m very secure within myself. I’ve been through hell and back in my life and I’m very secure, I love who I am.”
