I'm guessing that this is a common sight when you live in Australia.

Jeepers, seeing is believing. I remember seeing Kangaroos with boxing gloves, but I thought they were just cartoons.

Wallace , no , it is not a common sight to see fighting kangaroos.
Seeing kangaroos or wallabies (the smaller version) is quite common in country Australia.
I used to live in Woomera in South Australia and it was quite normal for wallabies/ kangaroos to visit at night and drink from our buckets of water I left on the lawn. Sometimes we had a group of 5- 10 kangaroos hopping around in our street. Note that Woomera is an outback location and most outback towns often have visits of kangaroos or wallabies. (I guess a bit like your bear visits in remote places).
I now live in Western Victoria near Warrnambool and I see Kangaroos occasionally on the highway at night .

Wow. I've never seen kangaroos in action before. Gives me a whole new concept of them. That was very interesting. Thank you, sallyanne.

Maybe that's where the idea of kickboxing came from, eh?

Then that's a rare video.
To me those looked to be adult kangaroos, although I don't know anything about kangaroos.

Who won? You be the judge conbagui.
@Wallace, they are adults and apparently they do this to win areas etc.

By the way this happened on the central coast NSW suburbs.

Gives a whole new perspective to street fighting.
