Story summary

On November 8, 2026, a boxing event in Kilkenny, Ireland, organized by Harrison Sullivan and Ed Matthews under their Unhinged Events company, turned violent after far-right activist Tommy Robinson attended as a guest. Two people were arrested during the riot, which erupted when Mo Deen, a Muslim social media personality, jumped from the ring to attack Robinson, who was holding a copy of his book "The Grooming Gang Cover-Up." The event had earlier been marred by chaotic scenes at a press conference on Friday evening. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, faces sentencing in December for harassing journalists and could face jail time.
