HSTikkyTokky has been forced to shut down his influencer boxing promotion after a brawl was sparked involving political activist Tommy Robinson. The former English Defence League (EDL) leader became embroiled in a violent altercation at an event in Ireland after fighter Mo Deen jumped out of the ring and charged towards him.
The mayhem erupted at The Hub in Kilkenny during a fight night scheduled to feature a headline bout between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky. Deen had been fighting on the undercard against fellow influencer MrTikTokUK, claiming a stoppage win after flooring his rival three times. Yet things spiralled out of control moments after the contest when promoters tried to generate hype for a possible future showdown between Deen and Robinson.
Chaos Erupts at Kilkenny Fight Night
The TikTok content creator leapt over the announcers' desk in a bid to get at Robinson, who had been seated ringside. Despite the chaos, organisers pushed forward with arrangements for an in-ring face-off between the two, with influencer HSTikkyTokky, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan, trying to facilitate the meeting.
Robinson, the former English Defence League (EDL) leader, faced jeers from parts of the audience before the two then clashed physically, triggering a massive brawl that engulfed the entire venue. Chairs were reportedly thrown as the chaos intensified, with hundreds of onlookers embroiled in the mayhem. Officials ultimately stepped in, forcing Sullivan to cut the event short.
Promotion Shut Down After Police and Commission Warnings
Social media personality HSTikkyTokky, who appeared in Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere documentary, revealed he has been forced to end the promotion. He said: "I've had a lot of messages from police around the world and I've had a message from a boxing commission. I am not allowed to put on an Unhinged event any more after Tommy Robinson riots at Kilkenny last night."
Unhinged Promotions started as a passion project for Sullivan. He has previously told fans that the events are not major earners and in fact often cost him large sums of money. "Obviously it's massively disappointing," he continued. "I wanted to grow the company Unhinged Promotions, I wanted to make it massive and huge and take over the world. But the risks that have come in play with certain decisions that some of my staff has made has now left us having to cancel any future events. We won't be back, but I am for sure going to be supporting all the other promotions around the world."
Apology and End of Events
"I just want to apologise to the internet. I didn't ever want to have to do this, I didn't want to ever put on events that risked the safety of the people that came to support. I'm super sorry and I won't be doing an event again," he said. "I wish I could but I won't be allowed to now, there is no venue around the world that will take me. There is literally nothing I can do, I feel cornered, I feel lost, I feel gutted."
"I feel jobless, this was my passion, my desire, my life's passion and now it's been took away from me over something that was supposed to be just a light-hearted promotion for the next event. I just want to say again I'm sorry to everyone back home."
