Tommy Robinson was caught up in a violent brawl at an influencer boxing event in Ireland after fighter Mo Deen leapt out of the ring and lunged towards him. The chaotic scenes unfolded at The Hub in Kilkenny during a fight night that was due to be headlined by a clash between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky.
Undercard clash sparks confrontation
Deen had been competing on the undercard against fellow influencer MrTikTokUK, securing a stoppage victory after knocking his opponent down three times. However, tensions boiled over shortly after the bout when promoters attempted to drum up excitement for a potential future fight between Deen and Robinson.
Deen jumped over the announcers' desk in an attempt to confront Robinson, who had been watching from ringside. Despite the initial disruption, organisers pressed ahead with plans for an in-ring face-off between the pair, with influencer HSTikkyTokky, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan, attempting to bring them together.
Mass brawl ends event early
Robinson, the former English Defence League (EDL) leader, was met with a hostile reception from sections of the crowd before appearing to taunt Deen with a book. The pair then became involved in a physical confrontation, sparking a mass brawl that spread throughout the venue.
Chairs were reportedly thrown as the disorder escalated, with hundreds of spectators caught up in the chaotic scenes. Officials eventually intervened, forcing Sullivan to bring the event to an early end.
Deen responds after the brawl
Speaking afterwards, Deen said: "Listen, I just want to make this clear to every person in the UK and outside of the UK. I'm not trying to cause problems. This is like WWE, they said 'listen, this is what this situation is.' I followed the scripts, I'm getting death, people trying to kill me - what the hell?"
"I don't know about this - I just know this is what we have to do. What's the problem? Why is everyone trying to kill me right now? I don't know what's going on, and this is a message to all of you. The supporters for Tommy... Bro it's kicking off outside, man."
"This is a message to all of Tommy supporters, I just followed the script that they told me they agreed with. So what's everyone trying to attack me for? You know what I'm trying to say? This is what they told me. Tommy's agreed with it, they've agreed with it. I followed it."
"Look at my hands man [shaking], this is not fair bro. It's not fair. I don't know what's going on, this whole thing is crazy. If anyone tries to attack me or do something to me, I'm just following the script - I don't know about all of this. That's going to be the series. I just want everyone to calm down."
"I'm just about love bro, I never tried problems with nobody. Hopefully anyone that's with Tommy and his friends, I'm trusting Elon Musk, whoever, don't put hits on me bro. This is all going left, I don't know what's going to happen - I'm just saying my part, you know? I don't want this. I don't want no trouble."
"I love the UK. I love the Queen, I've been praying for the Queen ever since I jumped on social media, I pray for this country, I love every English person more than anyone, more than my own people. So this is not right, what has happened and people hating me. Anyone watching, I love you guys, I love the UK more than anything."
"I prayed for the Queen, it's all over TikTok, when she died, God bless her, I prayed for her and everyone saw that so what's the problem? This is just what they told me to do. God bless you man, I don't know what else to say."
