Daniella Hemsley, an OnlyFans model turned boxer who flashed the crowd during a Kingpyn Boxing event on DAZN last weekend, is facing some consequences for her in-ring stunt.
After receiving some backlash, Kingpyn Boxing has decided that Hemsley will not be fighting for the promotion anytime soon and she has been pulled from her upcoming bout.
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearns said that Hemsley’s actions — which went viral on social media — hurt women’s boxing.
“My opinion is that I hate it, we’ve worked so hard for women in boxing to be respected for their ability, for their merits, for their hard work, one thing we must understand, is that ain’t boxing and that needs to be pushed, all that stuff Misfits, Kingpyn it needs to be booted so far away from professional boxing and we really need to dissociate ourselves with what it is,” Hearns said in an interview with Boxing Social.

Kingpyn Boxing also issued a statement on the incident.
“As we strive to bring fans the best influencer boxing events possible, we accept that Saturday’s post-fight incident may have offended some viewers and appreciate that this incident didn’t meet the standards expected from Kingpyn fight nights,” the statement read. “We apologize fully to anyone upset during the broadcast.
“The fighter involved in the incident will not be appearing in the Final event and has decided to take some time away from boxing. We will now be turning our attention to the Kingpyn Finals, with all of us more determined than ever to hold the greatest night of influencer boxing and showcase the very best of the sport we all love.
While that may have ended her “boxing” career, I’m sure Ms. Hemsley is still doing fine and saw an uptick in those OnlyFans subs.
