KingPyn's statement led to fan speculation about Hemsley's future in the organization. They noted that she wouldn't be appearing in the boxing finals despite picking up the victory, leading to speculation she had been suspended.

"I just want to personally address the current media speculation. I am NOT banned from KingPyn, I have made a choice to step down from the finals fight to take some time away from heavy training camps, recover some injuries and work on my businesses. This is only the beginning of my boxing journey and I plan to be back and fighting again in Autumn/Winter. I adore all my fans and thank you for all of the support and love! I see you all xx"
