While speaking with Boxing Social, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn said he felt that Hemsley’s actions hurt women’s boxing, and he believes the boxing community should dissociate themselves from gimmick boxing organizations like Kingyn and Misfits.
“My opinion is that 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 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 dissociate ourselves with what it is”
