Irish police made two arrests after violent disorder at a boxing event where far right activist Tommy Robinson became caught up in a mass brawl.
Robinson appeared to have been goaded into a fight at the event, before holding up a book he is promoting to the crowd and throwing it at his opponent.
Footage from the Unhinged Promotions event in Kilkenny, streamed by online creator Harrison Sullivan, known as HSTikkyTokky, appeared to show social media personality “Mo Deen” jumping out of the ring towards Robinson, who was ringside.
Robinson, 43, wearing a grey Stone Island jacket, appeared to be knocked backwards as violent clashes erupted around him and punches appeared to be thrown.
Video footage showed he later entered the ring before appearing to throw a book he is promoting towards Mo Deen, which was followed by a violent brawl among the crowd.
Robinson was grabbed during the commotion, while other individuals appeared to lash out towards both men.
Footage from the event organisers showed clashes outside the ring, chairs being thrown and a metal barrier being overturned amid shouting and chaos.
A post on Robinson’s X account in the early hours of Sunday showed him in the ring at the event holding a book up to members of the crowd.
The influencer boxing event, called Unhinged 003, featured Mo Deen fighting fellow social media personality “MrTikTokUK”.
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.”
Last month, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Lennon, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court of harassing two journalists and causing them to fear violence.
He was granted bail ahead of sentencing on December 16.
Harassment causing fear of violence can carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, or up to 14 years in jail if the offence is racially or religiously aggravated.
Online creator Sullivan was among those featured in broadcaster Louis Theroux’s documentary Inside The Manosphere.
