Social media sensation HSTikkyTokky didn’t stop throwing punches once his boxing debut had ended on Saturday night.
The divisive Tik Tok and streaming star had long been tapped for a potential boxing fight, and finally made it happen as Dublin’s 3Arena this weekend. He faced Love Island star George Fensom, whom he bullied throughout fight week before dispatching within a round.
However, that wasn’t his only fight of the evening as he was forced into action following the event when he was pressed by a fan. He also had a brief interaction at ringside with model Tennessee Thresh, making for an exciting evening.

While not the main event, it was clear that pre-fight build-up for Misfits Boxing in Dublin centred around the fan favourite HSTikkyTokky, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan. The controversial streamer is one of the UK’s most notorious influencers, but is beloved by his army of followers.
He dominated the fight week activities, out-performing Fensom in pretty much all verbal exchanges and taking the spotlight from other fights. And it appears to have been a sign of things to come as his rival arrived in the ring showing a level that bordered on being below your average beginner.
Fans had expressed their concerns for Fensom when he appeared without a legitimate coach or even a pair of gloves for his open workout on Wednesday. And he seemed like he had never laced up a pair of gloves in his life when he stepped in the ring.
Sullivan, whose own training was limited by the short notice of the fight, quickly took control and dropped Fensom with the first punch he threw. After gyrating in his rival’s face, he dropped him once more before landing a right hook that ended the night.

Following his victory, Sullivan was on the way back to the dressing room when a fan appearing to want to organize a future fight pushed towards him at ringside. He spat at the man, before throwing a punch that landed on the side of his head.
From there, he attempted to throw a chair as Sullivan, his close friend Ed Matthews and a number of fans were pulled apart by security. The incident appears to have left Sullivan unscathed, while little is known about the man who approached him.
Reporter Eze Talks Sports wrote on Twitter after the fact from the post-fight media area: “HSTikkyTokky come back stage and explained what happened – Some random person said he wanted to fight HS next and then swang for him. HS Didn't get hit and then he clocked the guy, and his trainers jumped in”

Despite calls from the fan at ringside, it seems more likely that Sullivan will next face fellow streamer Jon Zherka, with whom he had an infamous street fight last year. The pair’s feud has persisted, and will be settled in the ring in October, according to the Brit.
But his ultimate goal in the ring is Jake Paul, whom he called out after the fight. “Zherka Miami pay-per-view, then who’s better than him?” He asked during an interview with The Stomping Ground, noting that he “needs a bit of cooking” before being able to fight the much more experienced American.
“Maybe Zherka, then Bradley Martyn, then Logan Paul and then his brother Jake. I’ll f*** Bradley up, tell him to fight me. I’m cruiserweight and he’s heavyweight, I’ll bang him up. Let’s do it, let’s run it.”
