This is the amusing moment a kangaroo sharpened up his boxing skills by grappling with a punching bag.

Matchi, the juvenile kangaroo, was spotted practicing on the beat-up boxing bag inside his enclosure at Suzaka Zoo in Nagano, Japan on November 18.

Footage shows the animal performing an armbar on the brown training dummy.

Kangaroo play fighting is a vital part of their development. It helps them train for future fights, establish social hierarchies, and build strength.

Adult kangaroos engage in fights for various reasons, including securing food, defending territory, attracting mates, and self-defense.

Research has found that kangaroos also fight for fun.
