British influencer Harrison Sullivan, known online as HSTikkyTokky, said he is shutting down his influencer boxing company, Unhinged Promotions, after its third event in Kilkenny, Ireland, ended in a brawl involving fighter Mo Deen and activist Tommy Robinson on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026. Gardaí arrested two people and a man in his 30s was taken to hospital, RTÉ News reported on Nov. 8.

The event, billed as Unhinged 003, was held at The Hub in Cillín Hill and was due to be headlined by a bout between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky. The venue stopped the show before the final three fights could take place, according to SportsJOE.

How the brawl unfolded

Mo Deen, a British social media personality whose real name is Mohammad Kubba, fought fellow influencer MrTikTokUK on the undercard. The Daily Star reported that Deen won by stoppage after flooring his opponent three times. The Irish Times reported that after winning, Deen jumped out of the ring and onto Robinson, who was watching from the front row, sparking a brawl in the crowd.

The Guardian reported that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was a ringside guest surrounded by supporters, and that before Deen's bout he made remarks about Muslims at the commentators' desk that many attendees took offence at. The paper said the event was streamed on Kick to about 1.8 million viewers and was organised by Sullivan and fellow internet personality Ed Matthews.

After security separated the two men, organisers brought Deen back for an in-ring face-off with Robinson. The Irish Times and The Guardian reported that Robinson threw a book about grooming gangs at Deen, setting off a second, larger brawl that spread into the crowd. The Independent reported that footage from the organisers showed chairs being thrown and a metal barrier overturned. The Guardian reported that the violence lasted about 20 minutes before venue security and gardaí broke it up.

Arrests and hospital treatment

In a statement quoted by several outlets, gardaí said officers attended "a number of incidents" at a premises on the Dublin Road, Kilkenny, at approximately 9 p.m. "One male, aged in his 30s was assaulted and removed from the scene to St. Luke's Hospital," the statement said. A man in his 20s was arrested and detained under Section 4 at a Garda station in the South East, and a second male, "an adult in his teens," was arrested for violent disorder and charged.

The Irish Examiner reported that the teenager appeared in court in Clonmel on Sunday afternoon. The Irish Mirror reported that it understood the injured man had sustained stab wounds earlier in the evening; the Garda statement described him as having been assaulted. The Irish Times reported that CCTV footage and clips posted online were being reviewed as part of the investigation, and gardaí said inquiries were ongoing.

The Hub said in a statement reported by SportsJOE that "the decision was made by the management of the venue to step in and stop the promotions company from continuing with their event," adding that it "has a zero-tolerance policy towards violence, aggression or disorderly behaviour."

Deen says the confrontation was scripted

In a video posted after the event, Deen said his first confrontation with Robinson had been planned. "I'm not trying to cause problems. This is like WWE ... I followed the scripts, I'm getting death threats," he said, as quoted by RTÉ. "This is a message to all of Tommy's supporters, I just followed the script that they told me they agreed with." The Guardian reported that Deen told it he had been told to start a fight with Robinson but declined to say by whom, and that there was no suggestion the riot itself was pre-planned.

Sullivan's reversal

Sullivan first described the night as a success. In a video posted on X and reported by Bloody Elbow, he said the event "went absolutely brilliantly" and had "generated over 200 million views across TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram." He said he took accountability "for misjudging the amount of security that was needed," and promised a December card.

He later told viewers on a Kick stream that the promotion was ending, according to Bloody Elbow's follow-up, syndicated by Yardbarker. "I've had a lot of messages from police around the world and I've had a message from a boxing commission," he said. "I am not allowed to put on an Unhinged event any more." He added: "I just want to apologize to the internet," and said he did not want to put on events "that risked the safety of the people that came to support." The outlet reported that the event had not been sanctioned by Irish Boxing or the Boxing Union of Ireland.

Political reaction and background

Speaking at Fine Gael's ard fheis, Tánaiste Simon Harris said "violence has no place in our society" and called the scenes "disturbing," TheJournal.ie reported. Harris also referred to Louis Theroux's Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere, in which Sullivan appeared, saying it was "very hard watching how easily younger people were influenced." Local Independent councillor Eugene McGuinness said he had received calls and videos about the scenes, according to RTÉ.

Robinson was convicted last month at Southwark Crown Court of harassing two journalists, causing them to fear violence, and is on bail ahead of sentencing on Dec. 16, The Independent and The Guardian reported. The Guardian said the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police could not confirm whether his bail terms prohibited international travel.
