A wild brawl between two well known bodybuilders on a Sydney street has been captured on video.

Hossein “Yakiboy” Balapour and fellow fitness influencer Marven Yacoub went toe-to-toe in broad daylight in Zetland last week.

The video begins with the pair standing among a large group of men on the footpath, talking animatedly to one another, as a smaller man standing between them seemingly tries to calm them down.

Suddenly Balapour – who is out on bail – shoves Yacoub, knocking the personal trainer to the ground.

The men scurry to intervene, but not before Balapour throws several punches at the grounded Yacoub, who tries to scurry away.

Balapour can then be seen pulling a long item from his pocket and chasing Yacoub across the road, with the pair only narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic.

After tripping on the kerb, the heavily-tattooed Balapour regains his footing and runs into the middle of the road after Yacoub.

As drivers look on in shock from inside their cars, Balapour can be seen using the implement he had pulled from his pocket to hit Yacoub multiple times on the leg, causing him to flinch in pain.

Several of the men who were among the large group managed to make their way across the road to separate the pair and stop the brawl continuing.

Underworld sources said there had been a lengthy dispute between the pair over money and cars, but were not sure why it had suddenly escalated.

The pair ran out into oncoming traffic on the Zetland street.

Balapour has developed a major following on Instagram for his muscly-body, with more than 350,000 fans following what he calls his “Lamborghini body”.

But the Iranian refugee is currently on bail on unrelated assault charges which he has pleaded not guilty to.
