Mass brawl erupts at influencer boxing event attended by Tommy Robinson
Robinson was attacked by a boxer before entering the ring to throw punches
A mass brawl erupted at a boxing event attended by far-right agitator Tommy Robinson, with two men arrested and one person taken to hospital.
The fight erupted after Muslim social media personality Mo Deen, whose real name is Mohammad Kubba, jumped from the ring after winning his fight to tackle Robinson, who had been sitting in the front row.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was recently convicted of harassing two journalists and is currently on bail ahead of his sentencing in December, where he could face jail time.
The 43-year-old attended the event on Saturday in Kilkenny in Ireland, which had been organised by controversial internet personality HSTikkyTokky, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan.
Sullivan, who featured earlier this year in a Netflix documentary presented by Louis Theroux about manosphere influencers, set up the event with fellow internet personality Ed Matthews through their Unhinged events company.
Guests included controversial streamers, drill rappers, OnlyFans models, Robinson and his entourage.
The atmosphere turned tense after Robinson arrived to the commentator’s desk, holding a copy of his book The Grooming Gang Cover-Up, and made Islamophobic remarks, as reported by The Guardian.
After Kubba won his fight, footage showed him jumping from the ring to tackle Robinson, before being pulled off by security.
Videos from the event, which was livestreamed on Kick, later showed both Robinson and Kubba in the ring before a mass brawl erupts, with the crowd erupting into violence.
Robinson could be seen throwing his book towards Kubba, before throwing punches as others threw drinks and chairs, despite efforts from security to contain the crowd.
The riot was eventually broken up by venue security and the gardaí, who had been called to the venue earlier in the night after disturbances.
On its official Instagram account, @unhinged_promotions, footage of the riot was uploaded with the caption: “Unhinged 003 ENDS in a full area BRAWL and RIOT”.
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.”
