Kilkenny influencer boxing event ends early after brawl and stabbing
An influencer boxing event in Kilkenny was cancelled three fights before its scheduled finish after a confrontation between far-Right activist Tommy Robinson and Muslim influencer Mo Deen escalated into a crowd brawl. Deen says he was told to attack Robinson as part of a scripted moment; the claim has not been independently established. The incident matters because a man was stabbed, two people were arrested and one teenager was charged.
The event, organised by British influencer Harrison Sullivan’s Unhinged company, took place at The Hub, a venue with capacity for about 1,900 people, and was streamed online. Robinson had been invited to the commentators’ desk and made inflammatory remarks about Islam before Deen entered the ring and went towards him; chairs were thrown and Sullivan was struck by a bottle. The article also reports disorder at a press conference the previous evening and says Deen has received death threats from Robinson supporters.
In short
- A Kilkenny influencer boxing event ended early after a brawl.
