Conor McGregor has talked up Ebanie Bridges' punching power after she confirmed his business is behind her.
On Monday, 'The Blonder Bomber’ took to social media to reveal McGregor's beer company will be sponsoring her when she defends her IBF bantamweight title against Avril Mathie on December 9.
“Incase you haven't heard…. Officially partnered with Forged Irish Stout," Bridges tweeted.
"Blessed to have Conor McGregor and the FRGD Army beside me on my journey. 6 weeks to go before I defend my World Title in San Francisco USA.
"Make sure you tune in December 9 on DAZN Boxing to watch me in action.
"Forged Irish Stout now available in USA."
The former dual-weight UFC champion responded by talking up the punching power of Bridges, who has scored knockouts in four of her nine professional wins.
McGregor replied: "This girl can BANG!!"
"Let's go Eb, team Forged Irish Stout with you all the way."
'Notorious' announced his relationship with Bridges had evolved last week, but she hadn't acknowledged her deal with Forged Irish Stout until now.
McGregor and Bridges first met while attending Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron earlier this year.
In August, they were spotted together at Anthony Joshua's fight against Robert Helenius – an event McGregor's company was sponsoring.
