Ebanie Bridges, the former IBF bantamweight champion, has officially joined Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) as she prepares for her return to the ring. The announcement comes as part of MVP's growing roster of elite female fighters, which already includes world champions Ellie Scotney, Savannah Marshall, and Chantelle Cameron.

Bridges, 38, expressed her excitement about the partnership, stating, "I’m very excited about signing with MVP. They’ve done amazing things for women’s boxing in such a short time. Proud to be joining a star-studded stable full of champions—current, former, and future world champions." She emphasized MVP's commitment to advancing women's boxing, adding, "I believe with MVP’s backing, promotion, and clever marketing, myself and women’s boxing will truly skyrocket."

The Australian boxer has been on a hiatus since December 2023, when she lost her title to Miyo Yoshida in California. Earlier this year, Bridges welcomed her son, Ezerra Ray, with former welterweight champion Kell Brook. Now, she is set to make her promotional debut under MVP's banner as she aims to reclaim her place in the sport.

Jake Paul and MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian praised Bridges, calling her a "star in every sense of the word." They highlighted her accomplishments as a world champion, ticket seller, and influential personality who attracts new audiences to boxing. "Now a devoted mother on a mission to reclaim her title, she continues to break boundaries both in and out of the ring," they added.

MVP, launched in 2021, has quickly become a leading platform for female boxers, showcasing their talents on high-profile events like the upcoming all-women's card on Netflix, headlined by Katie Taylor's trilogy bout against Amanda Serrano. Bridges' signing further solidifies MVP's commitment to elevating women's boxing to new heights.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Bridges' return to the ring, as she looks to add another chapter to her storied career under the guidance of MVP.
