Controversial social media star HSTikkyTokky overcame an alleged injury to get in the ring and slap his next opponent last night in Qatar.
The brash Tik Tok sensation, who boasts millions of fans, was due to fight on Misfits Boxing’s big debut in Doha yesterday evening. But he was forced out of the show at the last minute after reportedly suffering an injury, which clearly wasn’t severe enough to cost him a chance to cut an in-ring promo.
The social media firebrand, whose real name is Harrison Sullivan, announced that he will be facing commentator Wade Plemons on an unspecified date next year. The pair faced off and even got physical during a WWE-style segment in the ring during the DAZN broadcast.

Wade Plemons and HSTikkyTokky get physical in comical first face-off
Heading into last night’s event, KSI had teased that he would be making a major fight announcement, which many fans assumed would be for his own comeback. But that wasn’t the case, and he instead confirmed the return to Misfits of commentator Wade Plemons.
The American is beloved with fans of influencer boxing, but was unceremoniously dumped from the Misfits Boxing broadcast during a dispute with promoter Mams Taylor last year. They presented the segment as if Plemons is coming in as an outsider, but it’s likely they have patched up their differences.
Plemons cut a promo declaring that he wasn’t at the show in order to commentate alongside Ben Davis, but instead wanted to get in the ring and fight. KSI then insisted that he must face the most dangerous prospect on their roster, and announced the 1-0 Sullivan as his opponent.
The sneering Brit made his way into the ring and goaded his rival, who claimed he would be able to commentate and knock out Sullivan in one night. And things got physical when the London native slapped Plemons, leading to the pair being dragged apart by security right on cue.
Plemons is a YouTuber and combat sports commentator, who has been involved on PFL, BKFC and other broadcasts throughout his time. He has commentated on the likes of Jake Paul, Floyd Mayweather and Nate Diaz during his run.
Meanwhile, Sullivan is a fitness influencer who became popular alongside his friend Ed Matthews during coronavirus lockdowns with his outrageous livestreams. He currently lives in Dubai where he is involved in cryptocurrency trading and other businesses.
HSTikkyTokky pulled out of his last Misfits Boxing fight due to alleged injury
Sullivan had been due to return to the ring last night in Qatar, but was allegedly forced out due to an injury. The supposed injury, which Bloody Elbow understands was said to be to his shoulder, didn’t stop him from having multiple physical altercations after arriving in Doha.
He skipped the entirety of fight week but was said to have weighed in at Wednesday’s morning weigh-ins. However, he then skipped the ceremonials later in the day, with no mention being made of what had happened during the broadcast.
He had been set to face Love Island star Moziah Pinder, who goes by the ring name of ‘Mosai Warrior’. in a bout that was announced a week prior. But he first claimed to have suffered an injury in a crude message, before then claiming news outlets reporting on his statement were ‘fake news’.
He posted a video on his second Instagram page with his girlfriend dining at Nobu, with the crass caption: “Quick nobu with @lillie_may6 in Qatar. Injured my shoulder strumming the narn too hard last night so can’t scrap tomorrow unfortunately, big love.”
But when news outlet IFN shared the screenshot with a caption claiming he had pulled out, he tweeted: “WTF is this fake news. That donkeys getting his face smashed in tonight.”
Promotional materials surrounding the fight were removed from the broadcast, generally seeming to confirm it was off. However, Sullivan claims to have had an altercation with his rival in the fighter hotel, and says Pinder was the one who pulled out of the fight.
Either way, it all led to a comical confrontation with Plemons and a guarantee that the duo would be competing at some point next year.
