It is safe to say that heavyweight champion Tyson Fury‘s words stepped in to save Ebanie Bridges from having a mental breakdown. Ebanie Bridges, one of the finest female boxers in recent times, recently updated a post on her story about her psychological state and shared a quote from Tyson Fury. At the same time, Fury also reshared the post on his Instagram story yesterday.

Bridges recently underwent many physical and emotional hardships, including hand surgery, and that could be the reason the heavyweight legend took interest. Fury extended his support by giving her post a shoutout. Here’s what we know about Bridges’ mental health battles.

Ebanie Bridges underwent mental and physical trauma

Ebanie Bridges, aka ‘Blonde Bomber,’ had a great time after beating Shannon O’Connell, but she did not savor that joy for long. The bones in her hand were broken and soon after the fight, her hand was completely swollen like a ball. She was rushed to the hospital shortly after the fight to have surgery done.

Even so, the procedure was reportedly very intensive as it was a series of two surgeries. First, the doctor had to take the bones from her hips and then fuse them to her hands. However, Bridges is doing well now, and she is preparing for her next fight. But every person needs mental or emotional support to come back after a loss and that is the reason, she is in the receiving end of global love. And Tyson Fury surely helped her in boosting her confidence with a shoutout.

Tyson Fury gave a shoutout to Ebanie Bridges

Ebanie Bridges is very active on social media, and she often keeps her fans updated with the happenings in her life. In the post, she featured a quote from Fury, which is, “I had to get back up, I had to show the world, that nothing is impossible. For all the people, who suffer with mental health problems, I did that for you. If I can comeback from where I came from. You can too. So, Get back up! And let’s do this, together as a team.”

‘The Gypsy King’ is no stranger to fighting those inner demons, as he has rose successfully against depression. Tyson opened up about his mental health struggles on The Rich Eisen Show. He recalled his tough days in Manchester and said, “I was on the verge of suicide. That’s when I’d have quit. But I didn’t quit on myself, and I didn’t quit on the world. That’s why I’m back here to tell the story.” 

Tyson Fury is surely an icon for the next generation of boxers, and so is Ebanie Bridges. While there is no scheduled fight for Bridges, a road of upcoming challenges awaits her. On the other hand, Fury is expected to take on Oleksandr Usyk on his next.
