His rival retaliated with a right cross that seemed to connect with his face.
The man dropped to the ground as his opponent continued to swing punches at his head.
While on the ground, the man in white managed to grab his rival’s legs before dragging him to the ground.
Onlookers then step forwards to separate the pair as several young children look on in shock and confusion.
The ugly scenes were filmed at the AIA Carnival in Hong Kong, China, on 1 January.
According to witnesses, carnival staff members arrived on the scene to de-escalate the situation.
They threatened to call the police on the brawlers and both men eventually walked away without further incident, as reported by Need To Know.
The video went viral on Threads where many users said the man in black came out on top.
One local commented: “The guy in white was hit by a left punch and a right hander, he had no comeback.”
Another said: “I don’t get what that woman was trying to do.”
Ava joked: “Live MMA for the new year.”
