Internet personality and event promoter Harrison Sullivan, widely known to his fans and followers as HSTikkyTokky, has officially announced that he is shutting down Unhinged Promotions permanently. The decision comes in the wake of a disastrous and violent live event in Kilkenny, Ireland, which spiraled completely out of control after a heated physical confrontation between British political activist Tommy Robinson and Muslim streamer Mo Deen spilled directly into the live audience.
The unsanctioned combat sports and entertainment event, held on Saturday night, was intended to feature high-profile influencer bouts and light-hearted promotional face-offs designed to generate viral social media attention. Instead, the evening descended into chaos when Robinson and Mo Deen engaged in an angry brawl while attempting to hype up an upcoming match. The altercation quickly escalated beyond the stage and into the packed crowd, forcing organizers to abruptly halt the proceedings with three matches remaining before the main event.
The situation worsened significantly after the event concluded. According to reports from the Irish national broadcaster RTE, a violent incident involving a stabbing occurred during the show, resulting in one attendee being hospitalized for their injuries. Local law enforcement swiftly intervened, leading to at least two arrests as authorities began investigating the public safety failures and violence surrounding the gathering.
For Sullivan, who recently featured prominently in Louis Theroux’s acclaimed "Manosphere" documentary earlier this year, the fallout has effectively ended his career in live event promotion. During a live broadcast on the streaming platform Kick, an visibly emotional Sullivan broke down in tears as he explained the grim reality facing his company to his stunned viewership.
Despite initially celebrating the widespread social media traction and viral metrics the altercation generated in the immediate aftermath, Sullivan was forced to confront the severe professional and legal consequences. He revealed that he had received stern warnings from police forces around the world, as well as an unnamed boxing commission, making it clear that he would never be granted a license to host a combat sports or entertainment event anywhere in the world again.
Furthermore, the Kilkenny event itself operated without the official backing or sanctioning of traditional regulatory bodies, including Irish Boxing and the Boxing Union of Ireland, leaving the promotion vulnerable to intense regulatory scrutiny even before Saturday night’s disturbances.
"I’ve had a lot of messages from police around the world and I’ve had a message from a boxing commission," Sullivan shared with his audience on Kick. "I am not allowed to put on an Unhinged event any more after Tommy Robinson riots at Kilkenny last night."
Unhinged Promotions was more than just a business venture for the controversial streamer; it was a deeply personal passion project. Sullivan had frequently confided in his followers that the events were not lucrative commercial enterprises that yielded massive profits. On the contrary, he admitted that putting together these large-scale productions often required significant personal financial investment, frequently costing him large sums of money to keep the enterprise afloat.
Reflecting on the abrupt end of his promotional ambitions, Sullivan expressed profound disappointment over how his vision for the company had unraveled. He explained that his ultimate goal had been to scale Unhinged Promotions into a massive, globally recognized brand that could compete on the international stage. However, he acknowledged that reckless decisions made by individuals associated with the organization had introduced unacceptable risks, sealing the fate of the company.
"Obviously it’s massively disappointing," Sullivan continued during his emotional stream. "I wanted to grow the company Unhinged Promotions, I wanted to make it massive and huge and take over the world. But the risks that have come in play with certain decisions that some of my staff has made has now left us having to cancel any future events. We won’t be back, but I am for sure going to be supporting all the other promotions around the world."
The streamer took full accountability for the safety failures that overshadowed the event, directing an apology toward the public and the fans who purchased tickets to support the show. He emphasized that his intention was never to put attendees in harm’s way, expressing deep regret over the dangerous environment that materialized inside the venue.
"I just want to apologize to the internet. I didn’t ever want to have to do this, I didn’t want to ever put on events that risked the safety of the people that came to support. I’m super sorry and I won’t be doing an event again," Sullivan stated.
Addressing the broader implications of the global backlash, Sullivan explained that the severity of the incident had effectively blacklisted him from the live events industry. With venues refusing to rent out their spaces and sponsors cutting ties, he felt entirely stripped of his ability to operate within the entertainment sector.
"I wish I could but I won’t be allowed to now, there is no venue around the world that will take me. There is literally nothing I can do, I feel cornered, I feel lost, I feel gutted," he said. "I feel jobless, this was my passion, my desire, my life’s passion and now it’s been took away from me over something that was supposed to be just a light-hearted promotion for the next event. I just want to say again I’m sorry to everyone back home."
As investigations into the violence and the alleged stabbing in Kilkenny continue by local authorities, the cancellation of Unhinged Promotions marks a sudden and dramatic conclusion to Sullivan’s foray into combat sports promotion. The incident has also reignited intense scrutiny regarding the safety standards, regulatory oversight, and security protocols surrounding influencer-led sporting and entertainment events.
