Ebanie Bridges does not appear to be entertaining the idea of retirement despite her defeat on Saturday night.
The Australian lost the second fight of her career, and the IBF women’s bantamweight title, against Miyo Yoshida in San Francisco last night, live on DAZN.
The Australian won the belt against Maria Cecilia Roman won the belt in March last year, and defended it against Shannon O’Connell a little after a year ago.
But Yoshida, a world champion at lighter weights earlier in her career, won via unanimous decision.
Given she has lost her title and is now looking to make a comeback at the age of 37, there is obviously speculation that she might now call time on her career.
But speaking on X, formerly known on Twitter, she wrote: "Absolutely gutted, it wasn’t my night. Big congrats to my opponent @MiyoBluedog – she was the better fighter tonight. Beautiful & humble, single mother. Seeing how much that win meant to her & her daughter did give me some warmth inside.
"A loss doesn’t define me. I have no quit, it’s all learning and I’ll be back better & stronger. Thank you to everyone who supports me. I love you all."
