Two people were arrested at an influencer boxing event in Kilkenny, Ireland, after it descended into a riot. The event, organised by internet personalities Harrison Sullivan and Ed Matthews, featured far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose presence inflamed tensions. A fight broke out between Robinson and social media personality Mo Deen, leading to a large-scale brawl. One male in his 30s was hospitalised, while a man in his 20s and a teenager were arrested. Robinson, who was on bail after being found guilty of harassing journalists, is due in court for sentencing on 16 December.
The event, livestreamed to about 1.8 million viewers, began peacefully but turned violent when Robinson made inflammatory comments about Muslims. After Mo Deen won his fight, he confronted Robinson, leading to a physical altercation. The situation escalated when Sullivan demanded Mo Deen return to the ring to face Robinson, resulting in a large-scale riot. The Garda Síochána and venue security eventually broke up the fight, and investigations are ongoing.
