Ebanie Bridges has caught the eye of fans for more than one reason since her WBA bantamweight title shot against Shannon Courtenay last year - and tends to steal the show at weigh-ins. The Blonde Bomber became very popular to British boxing fans despite losing to Courtenay by decision in April, going on to beat Bec Connolly by TKO in August and Mailys Gangloff less than a month later. Although her knockout power in the ring is undeniable, her social media presence has no doubt been boosted by her decision to wear eye-catching outfits to pre-fight weigh-ins. That was no different for the second of her three UK fights last year, in which the Australian opted to wear leopard-print underwear - which left boxing officials baffled. With Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn admitting that he chose to look up to the ceiling rather than get caught with his eyes on Ebanie, another staff member involved in the event was just as keen to keep his gaze occupied elsewhere. … [Read more...] about Bloke’s “comical” reaction to Ebanie Bridges stripping down to leopard underwear

While fans celebrated in their numbers outside their home while the team were abroad, the club put on a drone light show to commemorate their journey to the summit of club football. Tuchel became the first manager to lead two different teams to the final in back-to-back seasons, having tasted defeat as PSG boss against Bayern Munich last season.

Evacuation orders for areas threatened by the Colorado Fire in Monterey County were lifted Wednesday as fire crews continued to make progress on containment efforts, officials said. The winter blaze sparked last Friday night in the Palo Colorado Canyon after embers from a burn pile were swept into nearby vegetation by strong coastal gusts, officials said. Spurred by high winds and an exceptionally dry landscape , the fire jumped Highway 1 near the famous Bixby Bridge in Big Sur, forcing the closure of a segment of the roadway. Residents of about 500 homes in the area were ordered to evacuate until crews could get a better handle on the fire, officials said.

(CNN) The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has changed its mask guidelines to recommend that people "wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently." The agency describes well-fitting respirators approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) -- such as N95 masks -- as offering "the highest level of protection." The updated guidelines come after many public health experts have been recommending for months that people wear more effective masks -- particularly N95s -- and that the CDC change its guidelines on mask-wearing.

There's no place for them in light of Omicron," CNN medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, recently said on "CNN Newsroom." 3M Performance … [Read more...] about The CDC updated its mask guidelines.
