Ebanie Bridges and Kell Brook have announced the birth of their son, the first baby born of two world champions.
Former world boxing champions Kell Brook and Ebanie Bridges have welcomed a baby boy, making boxing history outside the ring. The couple announced the birth of their son – named Ezerra Ray Brook – in a heartfelt social media post, proudly noting that he is the first baby born to two reigning or former world boxing champions
The announcement not only confirms long-swirling romance rumours but also sparked an outpouring of support from fans and fellow fighters. Here’s a look at the pair’s journey from speculation to starting a family, the reaction across the boxing community, and what this new chapter means for their careers.
Fans flooded the comments section with messages of congratulations. Many praised the couple, with one writing, “Such a handsome little bubba! What a trio you all are.” Another added, “Huge congratulations. He’s beautiful!”
Despite becoming a mother, Bridges, a former IBF bantamweight champion, has expressed her desire to return to the ring. She lost her title in her second defence but has continued training throughout her pregnancy. She aims to make a comeback by the end of 2025.
“Training what I can… trying to keep myself fit,” she said of staying active while expecting, noting that she even helped coach a friend’s training camp during this time
Balancing motherhood and boxing will be a new challenge, but if anyone has the grit to do it, it’s the Blonde Bomber – known for fighting through adversity (she once won a bout despite a broken ankle) and defying expectations in her career. Her legion of fans – and now a little son cheering her on – will certainly be in her corner when she makes her return.
For Kell Brook, the transition may be more straightforward. The 38-year-old British boxing icon has been retired from professional competition since 2022, after capping his career with a high-profile grudge-match victory over Amir Khan. Brook walked away with an impressive 40-3 record, a legacy that includes holding the IBF welterweight title from 2014 to 2017 and being ranked the world’s top welterweight at his peak.
Special K holds wins over Amir Khan, Shawn Porter, and Matthew Hatton, and his only losses came to Terence Crawford, Errol Spence and Gennadiy Golovkin. Meanwhile, Bridges’ record sits at 9-2, with her only two losses coming against Miyo Yoshida and Shannon Courtenay.
Rumours of Bridges’ relationship with Brook have circulated for a long time, even despite Bridges’ side career as an OnlyFans creator, and this shows the real truth of the matter.
As the boxing community extends its congratulations, Kell Brook and Ebanie Bridges are embarking on perhaps their most rewarding journey yet. Their love story – once just whispered about in arenas and on social media – is now front-page news in the sports world, culminating in a beautiful baby boy who has captured the hearts of fans. It’s a real-life tale of two champions finding happiness beyond titles and belts.
