Ebanie Bridges fight on the horizon
Brooke has made no secret of her friendship with Ebanie Bridges, and now it seems that a fight between the pair could materialize in the near future.
When asked if there was an older female boxer she would like to take on, the Brit had one name in mind that would meet the criteria.
“There’s so many female boxers that are more current because it hasn’t really been going on for that long,” she told Express US Sports.
“One day I would absolutely love to fight Ebanie Bridges. She is my best friend and my sister, but I think that we could make that fight sell.”

How Brooke vs VanZant unfolded
Brooke got off to a blistering start when the pair met in Texas on Saturday, May 25.
VanZant, a former UFC fighter making her Misfits debut, was on the backfoot from the start. The American was rocked by a big right hand from the Brit as she hit the canvas inside the first round.
Unfortunately for Brooke, she was not able to build on her momentum and bring the fight to an early end. VanZant recovered and forced the bout to go the distance, where the judges ruled the contest as a draw after five intense rounds of action.
