Honestly, when I first saw this video I felt it had been altered or edited in some way. After looking into it more, not only is it a real video but there is a full explanation of the video from beginning to end.
In the video you see a random man jump out of a truck to save a dog by running up and legit sucker punching the kangaroo, who had the dog in some form of a headlock, right in the face.

According to Uproxx.com, the kangaroo boxer’s name is Greig Tonkins and he’s an actual zookeeper. Grieg and his friends were on a hunting trip that was planned for their terminally ill friend Kailem. The video was recorded back in June and despite being shocked his video went viral, Greig’s friend Matthew shared his story.
“My mate has a good government job, so he’s gone pretty quiet on this,” said Matthew Amor. ” we were driving along, the dogs are loose. They are trained to smell pretty good, and picked up AC. The dogs went past 20 kangaroos which they are trained not to text. Anyway, this big buck got a hold of my friend’s dog. I just grabbed him.”
It has yet to be determined if Greig will lose his job as the zookeeper. It has been said by a spokesperson from the zoo that it’s a “Toss up” when it comes to Grieg’s employment.
