YouTube boxer and OnlyFans star Daniella Hemsley has hit back at Eddie Hearn after he slammed her decision to flash her breasts when she won her first boxing fight.

The social media star defeated fellow influencer Ms Danielka at Dublin's 3Arena in the loser's bracket of the Kingpyn Boxing tournament earlier this month. And she stunned fans and broadcasters when after the decision was read, she pulled up her top, flashing her bare chest to the viewing audience and thousands in attendance, which included a number of children.

Hemsley has since decided to take a step back from the rigorous training regime needed to compete in a third tournament fight, but has vowed to return to the ring. And in an exclusive chat with Mirror Fighting following the win, she explained her side of the ordeal, taking aim at Hearn and other 'haters' for their reactions.

"It was bound to happen, it's inevitable, isn't it?" She said of Hearn's outspoken critique of her act, which went viral across social media. "Eddie Hearn seems to hate YouTube boxing, he thinks it's a p*** take and at the end of the day it's not professional boxing and I think people need to remember that.

"Professional boxing should totally have its own segment and should be respected in its own way and I think YouTube boxing is entertainment as well as boxing. It's all different personalities and celebrities coming into the sport, putting on a massive show with all the entertainment and the build-up towards it.

"It's not just boxing it's everything surrounded by it. So I think Eddie Hearn even needs to remember that and YouTube boxing and professional boxing should work together to separate it."

Speaking with Boxing Social, Hearn explained on the night: "I think if I start preaching people just moan at me anyway, but you always ask me my opinion. And my opinion is I hate it. 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.

What did you think of Daniella Hemsley's viral stunt? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

"One thing we must understand is that ain't boxing. And that needs to be pushed, all that stuff, Misfits, Kingpyn, it needs to be booted so far away from professional boxing and we really need to disassociate ourselves with what it is."

Hemsley also admitted that she was eager to land a star-making moment after her win, adding: "I wanted to get them viral moments, that's what it's all about, right? I didn't think it would blow up the way that it did and I'm always going to get positive and negative comments.

"Actually, with what I did flashing my boobs and stuff I got way more positive comments than negative, my whole YouTube boxing journey so far has been negative and I think I have gained a lot of respect and a lot of new fans not necessarily from just winning my fight but also expressing myself and not being afraid to show who I am either."

Kingpyn Boxing has claimed that they removed Hemsley from their upcoming finals event, where she would have faced Whitney Johns in the finals of the loser's bracket. However, she insists that she has been planning to take a break and return at the end of the year.
