WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE
A fight broke out between boxing world champions Billy Joe Saunders and Deontay Wilder at a Nandos in Belfast last night.
Shocking new footage purports to show the pair confront each other at a table in the restaurant after shaking each others hands.
The pair are in Northern Ireland ahead of Tyson Furys fight with Francesco Pianeta at Windsor Park tonight.
They clashed just hours after Wilder gatecrashed Furys weigh-in, where he had an aggressive confrontation with Furys father John – and then had to be separated from his rival heavyweight.
In the footage posted to social media, Saunders is seen to approach Wilder, who is dining at his table with his entourage.
The pair shake hands but the WBC heavyweight champion then confronts the Englishman about comments he previously made calling him a racist c***.
Saunders admits to calling his fellow boxer a racist c***, prompting the pair to square up to each other in the middle of the restaurant.

A number of people then try to split the pair up, before a mass fight breaks out.
Glass and plates can be heard smashing in the background and diners are heard screaming in horror.
The fight then spills out into the street, with footage showing Saunders running off being chased by one of Wilders entourage.
Saunders is alleged to have thrown half a chicken at the American, who sprints after the middleweight champion, chasing him down the road.
The Brit appeared to comment on the brawl earlier today, when he took to Twitter to write: I feel like chicken tonight chicken tonight .
The incident came just hours after the confrontation at Furys weigh-in, who faces Pianeta tonight.
Wilder will be ringside for the second fight of Furys comeback and is ready to confirm a November date in Las Vegas against the former WBO, WBA and IBF champion.
A 25,000-strong crowd is expected at Windsor Park for the bout tonight.
