Both men can be seen wearing well-tailored suits, as their behaviour seems out of place at the famous event.
At the start of the video, which you can watch below, the man in the beige suit manages to land a punch, before getting battered by the man in the grey suit.
They can then be seen repeatedly hitting one another in the head as a crowd watches from a distance.
In the background, a large crowd of racegoers have gathered under umbrellas, seemingly oblivious to the fight.
As the men wildly swing their arms, they manage to land a barrage of punches.
The man in the beige suit then begins tackling the other who is forced to retreat backwards.
This doesn’t last for long, as the initiator is then knocked to the ground, hitting the concrete floor headfirst.
After the incident, he can be seen with blood pouring from his face while the man in the grey suit is dragged away.
He then wipes his hands on his trousers, leaving a bloody streak on the pale fabric.
Throughout the fight several onlookers try to intervene but fail to break the fight apart.
Punters were heard shouting at the pair to stop, as one group yelled: “Stop, stop, boys.”
It is unclear what sparked the brawl.
The Sun has reached out to Thames Valley Police for comment.
A similar incident occurred during last year’s event, as another racegoer was left covered in blood.
Video footage showed the two men throwing punches before launching each other down stairs.
Horrified guests struggled to pull the men apart, as one woman seemingly got hit in the race during an attempt to intervene.
