Australian boxing star Ebanie Bridges<\/a> has joked that her "eyes are bigger than my boobs" after her face was destroyed in a 10-round world title fight defeat to Shannon Courtenay.<\/p>\n

The Sydney mathematics teacher was narrowly beaten for the WBA bantamweight crown in a gruesome fight with her British rival.<\/p>\n

Bridges soldiered through all 10 rounds despite getting pummelled with a brutal punch and a sickening head clash during the fifth round.<\/p>\n

The left eye of the 34-year-old had already begun to close up as she returned to the ring for the eighth round, and a giant haematoma that formed in the ring had clearly worsened between the clash and the time of her social media post.<\/p>\n

By the end of the bout, Bridges' face was hardly recognisable from the blonde bombshell who shamelessly uses her looks to promote her fights.<\/p>\n

The popular boxing sensation, who now has a 5-1-0 record, has remained her chirpy self despite the horrifying injury.<\/p>\n

"What a war – blood, guts and heart. Not a pretty face anymore. My eyes are bigger than my boobs," Bridges wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

"I love fighting. I enjoy every bit of it.<\/p>\n

"What can I say? I didn't get the W, but I fought my heart out.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't see for the last three rounds, but I have no quit in me!<\/p>\n

"Congrats to Shanny. It takes two to tango, and I hope we did what I said we would. I showed that pretty girls fight hard too!<\/p>\n

"I hope it was entertaining for everyone."<\/p>\n
