From Ivan Drago to Vladimir Putin, the Russians have a proud tradition of petulant pugilists punching people – just not usually in the street, we hope.
In footage taken by a girl who was pretending to take a selfie – top notch acting work by the way, someone call the Academy – we see two Russian blokes get into an argument over… well, we don’t know, we don’t speak Russian.
The footage however is pretty brutal. The two men – one young, one older – begin by squaring up against each other until the tension breaks and the younger man delivers a smack to the older guy right on the chops.

Unfortunately for him, the younger man soon breaks free and lands several bone rattling blows straight to the older guy’s face.
Despite being on the losing side for most of the fight, the older bloke makes a last round comeback managing to kick off the younger man before the footage stops – which is probably for the best.
More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.
Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.
He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
