Boxing sphinx cats have their owner in stitches 

  • Slow swipes soon descend into a furious fight as felines swap punches in video
  • The scrap in Russia provokes laughter from behind the lens as the pair square up 
  • They go for two rounds, with the clip showing one cat socking the other’s face  

A sphinx cat was filmed by its owner throwing punches at its feline friend with lightning-quick reactions in Russia.

The two moggies can be seen swiping at each other slowly and warily before they burst into a furious round of boxing – as their owner giggles from behind the camera.

The feline on the left certainly comes out on top, landing several punches squarely in its opponent’s face.

Then comes a pause in the action as the cats square up to each other – with the one on the left holding up its right paw in preparation for round two.

A taunting shove from the cat on the right sets off the fighting again, as the feline on the left pummels its opponent with several powerful left hooks.

Furious punches, quick reactions and top class stamina suggest the cat on the left might just be the spirit animal of a certain world champion MMA fighter who lost an epic battle with Floyd Mayweather at the end of August: Conor Mog-Gregor.
