Kingpyn Boxing is taking a firm stance regarding Daniella Hemsley’s recent actions.
During the Kingpyn event in Dublin last Saturday, Hemsley fought valiantly, securing a hard-earned victory over Ms. Danielka. However, her celebration after being announced as the winner became a topic of controversy when she flashed the camera. This incident garnered significant attention for the event, but it also attracted criticism, with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn condemning it as detrimental to the sport of boxing and emblematic of the negative influence of influencers in today’s society.
To a certain extent, Kingpyn shares Hearn’s viewpoint. On Wednesday, the promotion released a statement expressing their apologies for the incident and announcing that Hemsley will not be participating in their upcoming card or any future events in the foreseeable future.
As we continuously strive to deliver the best influencer boxing experiences to our fans, we acknowledge that the post-fight incident on Saturday may have offended certain viewers. We recognize that this occurrence fell short of the standards expected from Kingpyn fight nights, and we wholeheartedly apologize to anyone who was upset during the broadcast.
The fighter involved in the incident will not be appearing in the upcoming final event and has chosen to take some time away from boxing. Our focus now turns to the Kingpyn finals, as we are more determined than ever to present an outstanding night of influencer boxing, showcasing the very best aspects of the sport we all cherish.
It’s worth noting that Hemsley is not the first female athlete to celebrate a victory by removing her top in front of cameras. Tai Emery notably did the same after her initial triumph in BKFC in 2022, which landed her in hot water with the promotion. However, unlike Hemsley, Emery was still permitted to compete, fighting just a few months later in BKFC.
