Far-right figure Tommy Robinson was called out on camera in Dubai while attempting to give an interview to IFL TV ahead of a Misfits Boxing event. During the exchange, boxer Ty Mitchell questioned Robinson over his long record of targeting Muslims and asked why he rarely focuses on crimes committed by white offenders. Mitchell also raised the contradiction of Robinson being in a Muslim country despite his anti-Muslim rhetoric. The discussion became heated and the interview was cut short, with footage of the confrontation later circulating widely online. Tommy Robinson, who changed his real name from Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, is known for his anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. He co-founded the English Defence League, a far-right, anti-immigrant organisation, in 2009 and led it until 2013. He has also been involved with other far-right groups, including the British National Party and Pegida UK. Critics have long said Robinson receives funding and support from zionist and pro-Israel entities, and has posed with an IDF shirt. Support stories that matter.
