Winning a boxing match on decision can be an incredibly tense sporting moment and it leads to sudden outpours of emotion, both positive and negative.
One thing it does not tend to lead to is sudden nudity on live television. That is what happened when Daniella Hemsley got the better of Aleksandra Danielat a Kingpin boxing event on Saturday night.
She was announced as the winner and after jumping up and down and hugging a member of her team, she suddenly lifted her sports bra and flashed her breasts to the crowd and cameras whilst jumping up and down.
Reaction to Daniella Hemsley’s flash
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is one of the biggest names in the sport and he has been very clear that he did not like this behaviour from the 22-year-old OnlyFans model.
“My opinion is, I hated it,” Hearn 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.
“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.”
Two-time gold medalist boxer Claressa Shields also weighed in, saying: “Wow….. this is a step backwards for womens boxing. Stop this s**t.”
