A British manosphere influencer has announced the permanent closure of his combat sports venture following an incident that derailed a weekend event in Ireland and left him unable to secure future venues or official backing.
Harrison Sullivan (known online as HSTikkyTokky) delivered an emotional statement confirming that Unhinged Promotions would cease operations after a brawl between British political activist Tommy Robinson and Muslim streamer Mo Deen erupted during a promotional face-off at Saturday’s event in Kilkenny. The confrontation spilled into the crowd, forcing organizers to halt the card three bouts before the main event.
Irish national broadcaster RTE reported that the incident resulted in a stabbing that sent one attendee to hospital, with two people taken into custody.
In his announcement, Sullivan said the fallout had been swift and decisive. “I’ve had a lot of messages from, you know, the police around the world. I’ve also had a message from the Boxing Commission. I am not allowed to put on an Unhinged event anymore after Tommy Robinson riots at Kilkenny last night,” he said.
The 26-year-old who had positioned the promotion as an unfiltered alternative to traditional combat sports events, appeared visibly distressed as he addressed his online audience.
“Obviously, it’s massively disappointing. I wanted to grow the company, Unhinge 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 have made has now led with us having to cancel any future events.”
Sullivan said the damage extended beyond a single cancelled show. “We won’t be back,” he stated. “There is no venue around the world that will take me. There is literally just nothing that I can do. I feel cornered. I feel lost. I feel gutted. I feel jobless.”
He described the promotion as central to his identity and ambitions. “This was my passion. This was my, you know, my desire, my life’s passion. And now it’s been took away from me for something that was just meant to be a lighthearted, you know, promotion for the next event.”
Sullivan, who has built a significant following through provocative social media content, apologized to supporters. “I just want to say again, I’m sorry to everyone back at home. I didn’t want to ever have to do this. I didn’t want to ever have to put on events that risked the safety of the people that came to support.”

The collapse of Unhinged Promotions comes as Sullivan and other manosphere figures face growing scrutiny over their content and influence. Documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux recently examined the space in a project exploring what he calls “performative misogyny” within online communities.
Speaking on The Romesh Ranganathan Show about his work investigating influencers like Sullivan and Andrew Tate, Theroux described the content as carefully calculated provocation.
“The misogyny is obviously the front burner issue,” he said. “It’s horrific, and it’s becoming more and more weird, almost like a oneupmanship. ‘I don’t think women should drive. I don’t think they should vote.’ It’s not almost too kind to say it’s outdated. It sort of feels like it’s become a sort of performative misogyny of creating outrage.”
According to Theroux, the outrage serves a commercial purpose. “That’s almost the window dressing for a sales pitch,” he explained. “They go viral exploiting algorithms online that thrive on divisive content, and then it becomes an upsell for a rubbish subscription to an online university or some crypto scam or an FX trading platform.”
During his research, Theroux said Sullivan was candid about his priorities. “He says he just wants to make money and he doesn’t really care how he does it. He’ll rip people off if people are simps and they want to sign up to OF. He says then he’s going to promote it and that’s on them.”
He acknowledged that elements of the content, such as messages about discipline and self-improvement, are not inherently problematic. But he questioned the value when paired with other behavior. “He’s got charisma. He’s a talented broadcaster. I can acknowledge all of those things. But how meaningful is it to have a good work ethic if you’re just spending hours and hours spewing offensive pickup lines to girls on a beachfront in Marbella?”
