Is Tommy Robinson Fighting a Criminal Lawyer on Misfits?

Speculation around a potential Misfits Boxing crossover fight has intensified after Ahmed Yakoob, a Birmingham-based criminal defence lawyer, publicly called out Tommy Robinson for a boxing match. The callout, which referenced a charity bout, quickly gained traction on X and pushed the unlikely matchup into wider conversation within boxing and online circles.

Yakoob’s challenge prompted an immediate response from Robinson, who did not hold back with his reaction.

“I would iron this little mug out!” Robinson wrote, a quote that rapidly circulated and added fuel to an already viral situation.

Will Tommy Robinson Fight Ty Mitchell on Misfits?

Shortly after the exchange between Robinson and Yakoob, professional boxer Ty Mitchell inserted himself into the discussion. Mitchell publicly offered to fight Robinson instead, questioning why he would consider stepping into the ring with a non-boxer when an experienced professional was available.

As things stand, Misfits Boxing has not confirmed any talks involving Robinson, Yakoob, or Mitchell. No fight has been announced, and there is no official indication that negotiations are underway behind the scenes.

That said, Robinson has regularly spoken about how much he enjoys boxing training and the discipline that comes with it. He has shared training clips in the past and has credited boxing with helping his fitness and mindset. That enthusiasm leaves the door open to the possibility of a Misfits appearance, even if the opponent is yet to be decided.

Whether the situation leads to a charity bout with Ahmed Yakoob, a competitive matchup with Ty Mitchell, or nothing at all, it underlines how crossover boxing continues to blur the lines between sport, personality, and online culture. For now, the story remains unresolved, but the callout itself has ensured it stays firmly in the spotlight.
