And Mathie has taken a similar approach to self-promotion
Mathie, who is the 2014 Miss Swimsuit USA International Champion, markets herself in a similar way, wearing bikinis to her weigh-in.
The two women, who both have OnlyFans accounts, were set to fight this year but Bridges suffered a nasty hand injury in her most recent win over Shannon O’Connell and is currently out of action.
“I love Avril, I think she’s amazing, honestly,” Bridges told talkSPORT.
“She works really hard and I respect her for what she does, for her hustle, for her lifestyle and for what she has accomplished.
“I think it’s going to be a great fight and it will definitely please the crowd. I think our weigh-in will destroy the internet.”
Regarding how Bridges views the fight, she said, “I don’t really see it going beyond the first four or five rounds, with a win of course.

“She’s a tough Aussie, but so was Shannon O’Connell and I’m just getting better at it.
“So it’s going to be exciting when we have that fight and I’d love to fight her and like she said we were in talks for a fight.
“I would love to give her this opportunity because I think she’s amazing and I think she deserves it.”
Mathie has expressed similar respect for Bridges but believes their significant size advantage would see them win.

“I find [Ebanie] is very intelligent and I take my hat off to her. It’s going to be a killer fight, I’m really looking forward to it,” Mathie told talkSPORT.
“She brings it and likes to come forward and never really takes a step back, but I can also hit and come forward.
“So, I think there will be fireworks and it will be an exciting fight.
“I’m significantly taller than her so for me it’s going to be about keeping her away from me, which will be a challenge because we’ve seen her like to get in.
“But I’m ready for it, so as soon as her hands are better we can put it on.”
