All eyes are on Saudi Arabia this weekend as Anthony Joshua looks to win back his WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight belts off Andy Ruiz Jr.

Joshua suffered a shock defeat in his first fight against the Mexican-American in June but the pair are having their rematch on Saturday night.

However, it turns out this will not be the biggest fight you’ll see this weekend.

It all kicked off at Rosehill Gardens in Sydney as an ugly brawl broke out at the end of a horse-racing event in the Australian city.

The fight involved several men and women, throwing punches after an argument turned sour at the Australian Turf Club Christmas racing day.

One woman can be seen picking up some flowers and smashing them over the head of a tattooed man fighting her boyfriend.

Blood was seen coming from the head of the man who has a full leg tattoo.

Other women got involved in a bid to defend their men with one even using the sharp heel of her shoe as a weapon.

One woman was reportedly left with a black eye after the fight while another had part of her dress torn.

We’ll be very surprised if the boxing this weekend gets this violent.
