Daniella Hemsley’s topless celebration last Saturday night has been making headlines and drawing mixed reactions- with professional boxer Ebanie Bridges supporting it while boxing promoter Eddie Hearn being against the gesture.
OnlyFans star turned boxer Daniella Hemsley turned heads at the Kingpyn Boxing show with her unusual and unexpected way of celebrating the win over Miss Danielka- by flashing her breasts to the crowd.
Hemsley defeated Danielka via unanimous decision (48-47,48-47,49-46) in the semifinals of the Kingpyn Influencer Boxing Tournament, which took place in Dublin, Ireland on the 15th of July.

The young content creator wowed fans by celebrating topless right after being named the winner by the judges, and the clips of the celebrations quickly became viral on social media, with many boxing fans around the world hooting and hollering at it, as well as some who have been speaking against it.
I get why she’s done it: Ebanie Bridges on Daniella Hemsley’s celebration
IBF bantamweight champ Ebanie Bridges, who’s another content creator on OnlyFans and famed for turning heads during weigh-ins, spoke up in support of Hemsley, while admitting that she would never go to this extent of celebration.
“I think tonight all y’all that complain / about me & say I ‘show my tits’ saw what ‘showing your tits’ actually looks like… somthing I’d never do,” tweeted Bridges. “There is weighing in in Underwear like everyone else… but having big boobs…. And then theres actually showing ur tits on TV. 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. So she has succeeded in that… it’s influencer boxing their goal is to break the internet.”

One thing we must understand is that ain’t boxing: Eddie Hearn
Meanwhile, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn slammed the incident, stating that it is one of the instances why traditional boxing should maintain a clear boundary with celebrity and influencer boxing fights.
“My opinion is, I hate it,” Hearn said in an interview with 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. That needs to be pushed. All that stuff – Misfits, Kingpyn, all that stuff. It needs to be booted so far away from professional boxing, and we really need to disassociate ourselves with what it is.
“It does great numbers. It’s entertainment. It’s all of those things, and what we saw there (with Hemsley). 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,” he added [H/T MMA Junkie]
