ONLYFANS star Daniella Hemsley has hit back at Eddie Hearn after his criticism of the influencer boxing scene.
Daniella, 22, made headlines after sensationally flashing her boobs following her Kingpyn boxing victory over Ms Danielka earlier this month.
She was subsequently banned from the event’s final, while promoter Hearn was critical of the scene in general.
Speaking to Boxing Social on the night, Hearn declared: “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.”
Daniella has now directly addressed Hearn’s comments in an interview with The Mirror, but did agree with his sentiment that pro boxing should be dissociated with influencer boxing.

On Hearn’s criticism, she said: “It was bound to happen. it’s inevitable, isn’t it?
“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… YouTube boxing and professional boxing should work together to separate it.”
Since the incident, Hemsley has revealed she will be taking a break from boxing with an aim to return at the end of the year.
Taking to her Instagram, she also treated her 189,000 followers to a barely-there bikini picture of her facing out of her window.
On her boob-flashing, she remarked: “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.”
Daniella has been given support from the likes of Ebanie Bridges.
