Tai Emery had a superb bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKFC Thailand 3 last weekend, where she won by TKO. And then, after winning, Emery went for quite an unusual celebration – she flashed the audience.

The celebration went viral on social media. Tai was soon interviewed by MMA Fighting, where she said that the entire experience has been nothing but positive:

Everything is positive, positive, positive. Which is why it’s been so bloody good because it wasn’t meant to make anyone feel some type of way negatively. But if that’s what they’re going to feel, than I think they need to have a look at themselves to see why that’s triggering them, while someone is up there having a good time.

I’m sure there are ladies who probably flashed their ti*s for a free Bundy rum back home in Australia. But come on, I just knocked a bit*h out.

She did worry that there could be negative repercussions, given that she’s celebrated the way she did in Thailand:

I’m sure there was a lot of people worried that I was going to get backlash in Thailand, [as] it’s actually illegal for women to show their breasts… But it’s legal for a man that has fake breasts to be able to expose his chest.

Being in a country that’s mostly Buddhist, there could’ve been a lot of backlash. But honestly, from every single country there’s been a lot of support.

Emery is grateful to be fighting in the BKFC and for everything that is coming out of it:

To be honest, I feel like BKFC is the sport for me. I feel like [with] my personality, and have a look at what I pulled over the weekend, it’s only going to get worse.
This is who I am. So fortunately, or unfortunately people… It’s going to get worse the more I am enabled; the more comfortable I feel to not be so shy and introverted.

Thank you for the support, you have all taken it in the best way, you understood that it was for freedom, for what I just did, for everything.
And to see so many people [understand that] for the moment… It’s so nice to hear not that many people getting offended, and people just being liberated by it. Which was the whole point of doing it.
