Last weekend’s KingPyn Boxing event made all the headlines after a bizarre NSFW celebration by Daniella Hemsley. The incident garnered a lot of attention worldwide, with many sharing their thoughts on it. Interestingly, UFC veteran Chael Sonnen has a rather interesting take on the matter himself.
Recently, Hemsley defeated Aleksandra Daniel at the 3A Arena in Dublin, Ireland last weekend via unanimous decision. Following the victory, Hemsley appeared to be quite overjoyed and emotional and decided to showcase that by lifting her shirt and exposing herself on live television. Naturally, the incident swiftly became one of the most talked about things on the internet.
I have never seen where this athlete confirmed to be female. The men do not have a choice, they are required to compete shirtless. Specifically, what rule did this athlete violate? Specifically who made this decision? https://t.co/1lQRtpmUCz

Notably, UFC veteran and YouTuber Chael Sonnen also shared his thoughts on the matter. “I have never seen where this athlete confirmed to be female. The men do not have a choice, they are required to compete shirtless. Specifically, what rule did this athlete violate? Specifically who made this decision?” For those unfamiliar with Uncle Chael and his antics, he is obviously making yet another satirical comment here.
As is the case with most of his comments, fans absolutely lapped it up, understanding the veteran’s intentions. Fans took to the comment section to hail Uncle Chael as ‘Undisputed undefeated’ and also claim another ‘Super common Chael W.’ Whilst the incident was definitely out of order and unnecessary as Eddie Hearn and others have pointed out, Sonnen, in his traditional style, still managed to find a humorous side to it.
What did KingPyn Boxing say about the Daniella Hemsley incident?
Having exposed herself to an entire arena and viewers watching worldwide, many were keen to know what led to the boxer’s decision to do so. Whilst Daniella herself stated that her lifting her top was a way of expressing her happiness, she also claimed that she had the approval of the promoters to do so.
However, KingPyn promoter Chris Boyne had a rather contradictory response to the matter altogether. According to Chris, it (the celebration) was not something he wanted, stating that “n*dity, profanity, it doesn’t really work.” As such, there had been a lot of talk as to what the promotion would do next. As it turns out, KingPyn has since released an official statement regarding Hemsley and her actions.

Taking to their social media, KingPyn released an official statement apologizing for Hemsley’s actions. Further, the promotion revealed that Hemsley will not be taking further part in the KingPyn Boxing tournament. Additionally, KingPyn also revealed that the OnlyFans model will be taking some time off from the sport. As such, the show will continue the same as before with the exception of Hemsley being in the mix.
Having beaten Aleksandra ‘Ms.Danielka’ Daniel, Hemsley was set to face Whitney Johns in her next fight. As such, KingPyn will likely reveal a revised schedule for the tournament soon. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what Daniella gets up to. Do you think Hemsley will ever return to the boxing ring? Do you believe her celebration went a bit too far?
