A horrific footage which shows 2 men fighting in a bare-knuckle fight for survival with the loser of the fight being executed has gone viral.

The video starts with the two men, fighting and surrounded by what seems to be gang members holding guns.

As the two men begin to punch each other in the face, the gang members can be heard whooping and hollering in delight.

After about only 40 seconds into the fight, it was stopped by a gang member who declared the shirtless man in the video as the victor.

The man in red who 'lost' the fight was made to go on his knees and a gun pointed at the back of his neck, the video seemed to be recorded on a cell phone but it didn't show the actual execution.
Police in Mexico say the man was then shot dead.
They said they are investigating the murder.

This event was captured at a woodland clearing in southern Mexico’s lawless Tierra Caliente region.
