O’Connell, 39, has been vocal about Bridges’ conduct in the public eye, referencing her antics such as wearing a bra and knickers to her weigh-ins and sharing racy pictures online.
She has labelled Bridges “trash” and a “skanky stripper”.
And when O’Connell was asked her opinion of her, she added: “I genuinely dislike her, but I’ve never actually met her.
“I don’t understand why she deserves anything. What, because she gets her clothes off? Ok.”
Bridges then responded to those comments on Tuesday.
Speaking on Twitter, she said: “Hey @shotgunshannon1 remember after your last fight you were upset I was pretending I didn’t know who you were?
“Well I knew who you were, just didn’t want to give you free exposure.
“I’ve listened to you trash talk me for two years and looking forward to showing you what this sKaNkY sTriPpeR can do in eight weeks.”
And Bridges then received back-up from porn star Lust who called on O’Connell to clarify her comments.
Lust said: “So whats make u special @shotgunshannon1. You can judge and shame a woman for being sexy?”
This is not the first time Lust has involved herself in combat sports.
Last month, she sponsored bare knuckle fighter Tai Emery after she flashed her boobs following a knockout win.
Meanwhile, Bridges will seek to successfully defend her world title against O’Connell when the pair step into the ring in December.
Bridges won the IBF strap after defeating Maria Cecilia Roman in March and has not fought since.
She boasts a record of eight wins and one defeat since turning professional in 2019.
Her opponent O’Connell, who has been a pro eight years longer than Bridges, has a record of 23 wins, six defeats and one draw.

Here are the Basic Skills of Boxing
How to box effectively
Boxing has become a very popular sport. It consists of two opponents who try to knock out each other’s head. There are different rules for boxing, and they vary from one country to the next. There are generally three types of boxing: Amateur, Professional, and Olympic.
Amateur boxing is usually practiced at school, college or university. This type of boxing includes sparring sessions with padded gloves and without any protection. Usually amateur boxing competitions consist of three rounds of five minutes each. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.
Professional boxing is usually practiced in gyms, clubs or stadiums. They wear protective equipment such as mouthpiece, nose guard, shin guards, elbow pads, knee pads, waist belt and groin protector. Six rounds of professional boxing last four minutes each. There are several different styles of professional boxing including Boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo and others.
Olympic boxing is practiced at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. The competition lasts eight rounds of three minutes each. Olympic boxing has only two styles, Light Flyweight vs Heavyweight.
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Movement of the body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spares
Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination may contain several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the most common ones:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Sparring
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
