Meet swimsuit model turned boxer Avril Mathie who wants Ebanie Bridges showdown and wears skimpy outfits for weigh-ins

AVRIL MATHIE is the swimsuit model and boxer who is eyeing Ebanie Bridges' world title crown.

Aussie Bridges has shot to recognition for her racy lingerie weigh-in attire and thrilling fight style.

It has led her to IBF championship gold in the bantamweight division and a target on her back.

Chasing Bridges, 36, down is domestic rival Mathie, an 8-1-1 contender from Sydney.

And she has made it clear an all-Australian blockbuster against champion Bridges is on her radar.

She told talkSPORT: “I think [Ebanie] is very intelligent and I take my hat off to her.

"That will be a killer fight, I’m really excited for it. She brings it and likes to come forward and never really takes a step backward.

"But I can also bang and come forward. So, I think there will be fireworks and it will be an exciting fight.

"I’m significantly taller than her, so for me it’s going to be about keeping her away from me, which will be a challenge because we’ve seen how she likes to get in.

"But, it’s one that I’m ready for, so as soon as her hand's better, we can get it on."

Mathie, 35, began boxing as an amateur in 2012 and had 20 bouts before turning professional in 2017.

But her talents do not lay just in the ring having achieved success as a fitness model.

Mathie won Miss Swimsuit USA International in 2014 and the $50,000 Las Vegas International Model Search a year later.

She is dubbed "Australia’s most successful ever pageant model" and has continued her work while fighting.

Unfortunately for Mathie - who has an OnlyFans account - she lost her last fight over the weekend to Ramla Ali, her first defeat in ten fights.
