A shocking video that shows children as young as eight fighting in a cage in front of baying crowds has gone viral on the Internet.
The fight, which lasts ten minutes and features a scantily-clad girl parading around the ring between rounds, was part of a packed ticket-only fight night in the UK town of Preston.
The children are not wearing protective head gear or padding and one appears to be crying. At one point, medics were brought into the ring to assess the children but critics including the British Medical Association have slammed the event as dangerous.
