HSTikkyTokky Closes Unhinged Promotions After Kilkenny Brawl

HSTikkyTokky says Unhinged Promotions is finished. The streamer blames a Saturday night in Kilkenny, Ireland, that ended with a brawl in the crowd and a reported stabbing.

What went wrong in Kilkenny

The trouble started when Tommy Robinson, a British political activist, and the Muslim streamer Mo Deen tried to face off to promote a future fight. The face-off turned into an angry brawl. It spilled into the crowd.

The show was stopped three fights before the main event. It had been a packed house.

Irish national broadcaster RTE later reported a stabbing during the event. An attendee was taken to hospital, and two people were arrested. The event had not been sanctioned by Irish Boxing or the Boxing Union of Ireland.

The streamer's announcement

HSTikkyTokky, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan, spoke on a Kick stream. He said police spokespeople around the world had written to him. He also said an unnamed boxing commission had told him he would never get another event sanctioned.

Earlier he had bragged about how well the event travelled on social media. That tone is gone. In the stream he called the outcome "massively disappointing" and said he felt cornered, lost and gutted.

He also pointed at his own team. In his words, the risks that came from certain decisions by some of his staff left him having to cancel every future event. He did not name the decisions or the staff.

A project that lost money

Sullivan has told fans before that the events earn little and often run at a heavy loss. For him, Unhinged Promotions was a passion project.

Earlier this year he appeared in the Louis Theroux "Manosphere" documentary.

He said he wanted to grow the company and make it huge. Now, he says, no venue in the world will take him. He plans to back other promotions around the world instead, and he apologised to the internet and to everyone back home.
