Uploaded by ‘Fight Mate’, the video showed both of them all pumped and ready to face off. The clip started in typical boxing fashion, with the two boxers entering from the side of the frame. The son engaged in some mild trash talk, but the father was laser focused.

The son shouted, “Get em up!” and that spelled the start of their bout. The father gauged his son’s movements and unleashed a powerful punch straight to the face. His son let out a loud grunt and fell straight to the floor.

He understood the fight was over and said “goodnight” and lay down on the floor. Although the fight got over in just 10 seconds, the video was a nice breath of fresh air from the usual violence. The duo showed great camaraderie between each other.
