Brawl featuring man in ‘boxers’ ends with two blokes knocking each other out at same time

The strange incident was posted to Twitter, with many onlookers commenting on the state of one of the fighter’s underwear which appeared to be both revealing and bright red

Two men brawling in the street were captured on camera landing knockout blows on each other at the same time.

The bizarre incident was posted to X (formerly Twitter) earlier today by an account called Flavour of Ireland, although it is unclear where the clip was taken. In the weird video, two men – one wearing incredibly short, red “boxers” – square up to each other before they begin taking swings.

A few connect, and the blokes stagger around the street while people are heard shouting words of encouragement at them. After around 15 seconds of trading blows, the two men both land massive haymakers which results in the pair falling to the ground in unison.

The synchronicity is balletic, with the fighters collapsing in a heap like a daffodil unfurling in springtime. Immediately, the two unconscious bodies are surrounded by the onlookers, clearly worried about their state of health.

The man with the very short red shorts is first to his feet and performs a celebratory jig. His counterpart remains on the floor, but his leg begins to move reassuringly.

To cap off the strange incident, a man riding a scooter enters frame left and rides over to inspect proceedings.

“ Is this round 1 or round 2 ? The first one i seen, the guy in red shorts comes off worse,” someone commented underneath the clip.

“Is my man in his boxers?” someone asked, referring to the bloke in the red shorts.

“Budgie smuggler with the knockout!” another wrote.

A fourth social media commentator complimented the pair on their fighting style, writing: “Good to see a couple of men actual square go without weapons! The way it should be done.”
