Model Daniella Hemsley baring it all on camera after her unanimous decision win against Aleksandra Daniel at a Kingpyn Boxing event came with criticism from two of boxing’s biggest names.
Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was not impressed by the 22-year-old Hemsley’s public display on Saturday night after an exhibition clash of social media influencers
He found it insulting to the sport.
“My opinion is, I hated it,” Heard told Boxing Social. “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.”
Hearn went on to say that actions like Hemsley’s need to be “booted so far away” from professional boxing.
“It does great numbers. It’s entertainment. It’s all of those things, and what we saw there [with Hemsley],” Hearn continued. “For me, what I’m trying to do and what we’ve been doing for years and years, the sacrifices people have made to be respected — again, it’s not boxing. But at the same time, I think it’s more of a reflection of society than a reflection of good or bad for boxing. I don’t like it.”
Hemsley’s original plan was to be moderately covered, but a wardrobe malfunction removed the tassels that were supposed to be attached to her nipples, leading her to accidentally fully flash the audience.
Her TikTok profile has 255,000 followers, and her Instagram showcases 122,000 and he also has on OnlyFans account.
“The problem today is you want kids to have great role models,” Hearn said. “Unfortunately, we now live in a world where role models, or influencers, are not necessarily doing things that the older generation, which I class myself as, or parents would want your kids to see or think is acceptable. [It’s] nothing to do with women, nothing to do with men. You want your kids to behave in a certain way. That’s not a way you’d want your kids to behave, in my opinion.”
Claressa Shields, a two-time gold medalist boxer who has held world championships in three weight classes, shared Hearn’s discontent.
“Wow….. this is a step backwards for womens boxing. Stop this s–t,” Shields shared on Twitter in response to a post about Hemsley’s post-fight display.
Others understood why Hemsley chose to do what she did.
IBF bantamweight champ Ebanie Bridges believed she was only doing what social media influencers do.
“I get why she’s done it… she’s an ‘influencer’ it’s all about views & she knows it would break the internet, get views & everyone would be talking about it,” Bridges shared on Twitter. “So she has succeeded in that… it’s influencer boxing their goal is to break the internet.”
