The health benefits of boxing are now pretty well established. Moreover, physical merits aside, the intervention of the sport at a community level, especially for those vulnerable to crime and other social maladies, is noteworthy. Per se, boxing has quite a few success stories where young boys turned their backs on destructive behavior and negative influence and picked a life that offered success and fame. Furthermore, tapping the umpteen perks the sport provides, a few not-for-profit organizations have taken it to people not only outside the standard age bracket, but also with varied abilities.
Thirty-six-year-old Ebanie Bridges from Australia is the reigning IBF Bantamweight title holder. Starting her professional journey in 2019, the “Blonde Bomber” has nine wins against a single loss. Boxing, on the one side, the subject of Bridges’ expertise is mathematics. In addition, she is a certified educator in the field. She boasts nearly 300k followers on Twitter and makes it a point to share exciting news and updates worldwide.
Two days ago, Ebanie Bridges shared a short, half-a-minute video clip initially posted by “The Inclusive Hub.”
