OnlyFans boxer Daniella Hemsley has been disqualified from the upcoming Kingpyn Boxing final due to her controversial actions during a live TV broadcast following her victory last Saturday night.
The 22-year-old model emerged victorious over her rival Aleksandra Danielka in the loser’s bracket of the Kingpyn High Stakes tournament in Dublin. After being announced as the winner via unanimous decision, Hemsley chose to celebrate in an X-rated manner by lifting up her sports bra and exposing her breasts to the audience at the 3Arena and viewers at home.
Following this incident, Kingpyn made an official statement declaring that Hemsley would not be allowed to compete in the final show scheduled to take place at The O2 arena in September. They acknowledged that the post-fight incident may have offended some viewers and expressed regret that it did not meet the standards expected from Kingpyn fight nights. The promotion apologized to anyone upset by the broadcast and confirmed that the fighter involved in the incident would be taking a break from boxing and would not appear in the final event.
Hemsley addressed the situation in a YouTube video, claiming that she had received approval from the promoter to carry out the stunt. She explained that she had attached tassels onto her nipples, but they came off during the bout, leading to the unexpected outcome when she lifted her top.
Despite the ban, Hemsley clarified that she was not permanently barred from the Kingpyn promotion, stating that she would take a few weeks off from training to recover and intended to return to boxing, possibly in the winter.
Immediately after the bout, Hemsley apologized for her actions, attributing them to overwhelming emotions. However, her behavior drew criticism from notable figures in the sport. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn expressed his disapproval, voicing his concern over the growing trend of celebrities and influencers participating in professional boxing matches, which he believed undermined the hard work and respect women in boxing had earned for their abilities and merits.
Boxing superstar Claressa Shields also shared the sentiment, describing the incident as a step backward for women’s boxing. On Twitter, she condemned the celebration and called for an end to such behavior.

In contrast, Australian world champion Ebanie Bridges, known for wearing racy lingerie at weigh-ins, argued that the celebration did not have a negative impact on women in the sport. She believed that “influencer boxing” was a separate category from professional boxing and should be treated differently.
