Tommy Robinson caught up in mass brawl at Irish boxing event as two arrested

Two arrests were made by Irish police after a boxing event in Kilkenny descended into violent disorder, with political activist Tommy Robinson caught up in a mass brawl.

The event was staged by Unhinged Promotions and streamed by online creator Harrison Sullivan, who is known as HSTikkyTokky.

Footage from the night appeared to show social media personality “Mo Deen” jumping out of the ring towards Robinson, who was ringside. Robinson, 43, was wearing a grey Stone Island jacket.

As violent clashes erupted around him, he appeared to be knocked backwards, with punches appearing to be thrown.

Video footage showed Robinson later entering the ring. He then appeared to throw a book towards Mo Deen, which was followed by a violent brawl among the crowd.

During the commotion, Robinson was grabbed, while other individuals appeared to lash out towards both men.

Footage from the event organisers showed clashes outside the ring. Chairs were thrown and a metal barrier was overturned amid shouting and chaos.

In the early hours of Sunday, a post on Robinson’s X account showed him in the ring at the event holding a book up to members of the crowd.

The influencer boxing event, called Unhinged 003, featured Mo Deen fighting fellow social media personality “MrTikTokUK”.

A Garda spokesperson said officers “attended the scene of a number of incidents” on the Dublin Road in Kilkenny at around 9pm on Saturday.

A statement read: “One male, aged in his 30s was assaulted and removed from the scene to St Luke’s Hospital.

“A man, aged in his 20s, was arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 at a Garda station in the South East.

“A second male was arrested, an adult in his teens, for violent disorder and has since been charged.

“He is due to appear in court later today, no court sitting has been set at this time.

“Investigations ongoing.”

Last month, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court of harassing two journalists and causing them to fear violence. He was granted bail ahead of sentencing on 16 December.

Harassment causing fear of violence can carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, or up to 14 years in jail if the offence is racially or religiously aggravated.

Online creator Sullivan was among those featured in broadcaster Louis Theroux’s documentary Inside The Manosphere.
