THIS is the dramatic moment two British tourists turned a Tenerife mountain road into a makeshift boxing ring.
Footage shows one man squaring up to a heavyweight holidaymaker – only to be swiftly floored by a left hook to the jaw.
The challenger appears to be knocked out as he crashes onto the tarmac.
Moments later, however, he staggers back to his feet and unleashes a furious verbal tirade as cars slow down to catch a glimpse of the action.
The enraged tourist turns his attention to the woman accompanying his opponent, accusing her of taking a swing at his bike while he was trying to take a “f**king photo”.
Once his anger subsides, he climbs back into his white hire car and drives off.

The bizarre confrontation unfolded on a winding mountain road leading to the tiny hamlet of Masca.
This idyllic village, dubbed the “Machu Picchu of Europe,” is a magnet for tourists.
The video quickly went viral, with one social media user dubbing the bout “hot dog versus smash burger”.
Taking aim at the millions of British holidaymakers who flock to Spain each year, one commenter sarcastically wrote: “Quality tourism.”
Another added: “These are their traditions. They must be respected.”
A third struck a more pragmatic note, pointing out the economic reality: “Tourism brings thousands of millions of euros to the islands – something bananas don’t do.”
The incident comes in anticipation of renewed anti-tourism protests across Europe over the next few months.
Tenerife has been at the centre of growing protests against mass tourism in recent years.
Graffiti scrawled on walls and benches in Palm Mar read “my misery, your paradise,” highlighting the average salary in the Canary Islands is just €1,200.
In a less diplomatic response, another message appeared beside a “tourists go home” slogan: “F**k off, we pay your wages.”
Around the same time, thousands marched through the streets demanding action on issues including soaring housing costs and rising pollution.
Last October, protesters stormed Troya Beach, surrounding stunned holidaymakers after breaking away from a planned march route to Playa de las Americas.
Two months earlier, tensions flared in Valencia when locals clashed with foreign tourists on a cycling tour.
Residents could be heard shouting “Go home,” to which the holidaymakers responded: “F**k you.”
A local association later claimed the dispute erupted after cyclists tried to pass through an area hosting an event and refused to slow down or dismount.
An English-speaking former resident described the scenes as “unfortunate”.
He wrote online: “I loved the city while I was there. Nobody treated me like this.
“My dream was to return to do a Master’s degree at the university and at the same time carry on improving my Spanish.
“I just wanted to live simply and with respect towards other people. But if things are like this, I don’t know anymore what to think.”
The Tenerife scuffle is the latest in a string of ugly confrontations involving tourists.
Just weeks earlier in Benidorm, a British holidaymaker was arrested after a road rage bust-up with a pedestrian at a zebra crossing.
The argument escalated into a brief fist fight before the Brit launched into a foul-mouthed rant as the pedestrian ripped off his wing mirror and fled.
His luck ran out moments later when a police van arrived on the scene.
Officers arrested him on the spot, with one escorting him away while another moved the vehicle.
