The shirtless man involved in a mass brawl in Auckland's CBD is a former competitive tickler.
Joshua Antonio Lepage, 22, admitted a charge of fighting in public after a cellphone video of the rumble went viral in March, and he was fined $300 this week for his involvement.
It has also been revealed that the former Cleo Bachelor of the Year contestant has featured in competitive tickling videos on YouTube, under the name "Tommy the Ticklish Kiwi".
The clips from 2015 show Lepage being restrained and tickled, and also tickling other men.
