Shannon O'Connell has been caught on video calling Ebanie Bridges a 'fat c**t' before the Australians clash for the IBF bantamweight world title this weekend.
The pair have engaged in a war of words in the lead-up to the battle for Bridges' belt, with O'Connell branding her rival a 'skanky stripper' due to her habit of wearing lingerie at her pre-fight weigh-ins.
The 39-year-old also tried to intimidate Bridges when they met face-t-face in Leeds on Thursday, telling her 'you're f**ked, b***h' - only to have her opponent laugh in her face.
In the footage, a man who is out of shot says 'that's a f***ing joke' to which O'Connell replies, 'That's bulls**t. She's a fat c**t. There's no chance she was weighing 55 kilos this morning.'
The weight limit for the bantamweight division is 53.5kg.
