Sometimes, the best way to shake off a loss is by treating yourself to the luxuries of life. Ebanie Bridges might have had the same idea as she bought herself a brand spanking new Porsche 911 Carrera 992 for Christmas. The car is valued at approximately $170,000 but after a surprising loss against Miyo Yoshida, the price tag didn’t bother the Aussie. 

Not so long ago, Bridges went toe-to-toe with Miyo Yoshida in the undercard of Devin Haney vs. Regis Prograis on 9 December at Chase Centre Arena. However,  she failed to win the fight as Yoshida was crowned the victor via unanimous decision. So, when Bridges shared pictures of her new car on X (formerly Twitter), fans were surprised, to say the least. 

Fans claim Ebanie Bridges deserves it!

Despite her recent loss, most people congratulated the boxer. 

One user congratulated Bridges while asking her to enjoy her new car.
