Tommy Robinson was involved in a heated confrontation at a Misfits Boxing event in Dubai where he was shoved by boxer Ty Mitchell during a backstage row. The incident unfolded during the weigh-in for the Fight Before Christmas card, headlined by Andrew Tate and Chase DeMoor.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was being interviewed by IFL TV about his unannounced appearance when Mitchell intervened. The boxer accused Robinson of being a “racist” and questioned why he was being offered a platform. Mitchell also highlighted that Robinson was in a Muslim-majority country despite his record of inflammatory comments.
Robinson denied the claims, saying his criticism was directed at terrorism and extremism, not Muslims. Mitchell continued to dispute this, stepping in front of the camera and insisting that Robinson was not wanted at the venue. The confrontation escalated when Mitchell shoved Robinson, leading event security to separate the pair.
Additional footage shared online shows other well-known personalities backstage as the altercation unfolded, adding further attention to the incident.
