    And partner Wanliss is also her coach when he is not training himself and opened up on how the two first got together.
    He told SunSport: “We met on Instagram, I think I slid into the DMs, we argue about this all the time. 
    “We were planning on going on holiday without even meeting each other, it was crazy.
    “We ended up meeting and going to a lovely little bar and restaurant and had a great time, really hit it off and found out we had so much in common.”

    Wanliss was a male stripper for ten years before giving up to focus on his MMA career.
    But he still finds time to juggle boyfriend and coaching duties.
    He said: “The type of person I am, I feel like that kind of dynamic works. 
    “I can switch my mind of and be very militant and be like, ‘You’re not my girlfriend right now, I’m the coach and you’ll listen to me.’

    “It’s hard, don’t get me wrong because it’s tough seeing your missus going through the fighters’ life, it’s not easy. 
    “Sometimes you don’t have a good sparring day, then she’s crying and you have to choose whether to be by her side and be the boyfriend or be the coach and lift her up. 
    “These things do happen but quite naturally without bigging myself up too much I do feel like a good coach and being able to get the athlete to a certain place mentally or physically.” 
    Wanliss, 30, defended Hemsley, 22, after Eddie Hearn slammed the influencer for her post-fight celebration prank.
    He said: “I don’t know if Eddie was trying to be politically correct or wherever he was trying to come from. 
    “But you take one look at him and you can find loads of OnlyFans girls around Matchroom and it’s like, some on, mate you can’t say, ‘Let’s get this away from boxing.’ 
    “He’s the one promoting it too, maybe he’s a bit jealous of KingPyn or the eyes that were on them but it’s definitely contradictory. 
    “Obviously, I’m going to back my missus and it’s just t****s, man. No one got harmed.”

    Wanliss – who like Hemsley runs an OnlyFans account – also models but insists nothing comes close to fighting.
    He said: “I could have £1million in my back pocket right now – and eventually I will do – and I’d still fight. 
    “I’d still turn up to the gym and train and that would lead to me still wanting to compete because I’m a very competitive person. 
    “It’s the competitive drive and I love the process of preparing for a fight, taking a puzzle which is in the shape of another person and trying to defeat that. 
    “There’s no money in the world that can buy that. Yeah, OnlyFans is great and it makes money, stripping is great and it makes money but my passion is as a martial artist.” 
    Hemsley has travelled to Prague to watch her man in action, with Wanliss fighting at Oktagon 45 against Georgia’s Giorgi Gogotchuri.
    The British prospect wants to go down as a legend in the sport having made a name for himself outside of it.
    He said: “My biggest goal is to be pound-for-pound No1 in MMA.

    “I want to leave my career the best that I can be and I don’t see anything less than No1.

    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.

    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.”
