Two arrests after mass brawl and stabbing at ‘manosphere’ boxing event in Kilkenny

Shocking scenes.

The event was organised by Unhinged Promotions, which is headed by 'manosphere' influencer Harrison Sullivan, aka HSTikkyTokky, and took place at The Hub in Kilkenny.

The Irish Mirror have reported that earlier in the evening, before the main brawl, a man suffered stab wounds and was taken to hospital.

The Gardaí gave full details in their statement:  "Gardai attended the scene of a number of incidents on the night of Saturday 7th November, 2026 at approximately 9pm at a premises on the Dublin Road, Kilkenny.

"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."

The main brawl took place after influencer Mo Deen won his fight and jumped out of the ring on top of well-known far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

After calming down the initial fracas, Sullivan then invited both men into the ring for a face-off, before a mass brawl kicked off when Robinson appeared to lunge at Deen with a book.

The scenes then escalated into crowd violence, with reports of chairs and glass being thrown.

The managers of the venue then shut down the Unhinged 003 event, before the final three fights, including the headline bout between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky, could be staged.

In a statement, The Hub said: “Following an incident the decision was made by the management of the venue to step in and stop the promotions company from continuing with their event.

"The Hub has a zero-tolerance policy towards violence, aggression or disorderly behaviour."

Sullivan addressed the incident in a video posted to social media, where he described the event as "absolutely brilliant", while claiming to take accountability for security issues.

He said: "I think it went absolutely brilliantly. Listen it was controversial as f**k but please tell me other other promotion on their third event is trending globally on Twitter like this, has generated over 200 million views across TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.

"So everyone whose hating, you're clearly still watching. The fights were absolutely brilliant up until the venue got closed down.

"I'm gutted that we didn't get to see the final three fights but sh*t happens. I totally hold accountability for misjudging the amount of security that was needed and the types of people that were coming. I misjudged that.

"But what I won't listen to is that wasn't a f**king great night of entertainment. It was huge. Every single person is watching what I do. Every single person likes to talk about what I do because I'm the number one at what I do."

He also claimed that all future Unhinged events have been cancelled and that the promotion company will not be back.

Deen claimed that the initial confrontation with Robinson had been scripted.

He said: "I'm not trying to cause problems. This is like WWE ... I followed the scripts, I'm getting death threats, people trying to kill me - what the hell?

"This is a message to all of Tommy's supporters, I just followed the script that they told me they agreed with. So what's everyone trying to attack me for? ... This is what they told me. Tommy's agreed with it, they've agreed with it. I followed it.

"I don't know what's going on, this whole thing is crazy."

Speaking at the Fine Gael ard fheis Tánaiste Simon Harris also had his say on the incident, calling the scenes "disturbing".
