Fight nights usually feature roaring crowds, flashing lights, and a challenger ready to face the ring. However, TikTok’s latest viral star needed none of that. All it took was a glass door, two front paws, and some surprisingly sharp boxing instincts to convince millions that they were watching the next heavyweight contender in action.
Viral TikTok video shows dog trying to open a door
Mohammed Ali might have floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee, but one dog is giving the boxing great a run for his money. In a TikTok video, the pup is seen outside a glass door, standing firmly on his hind legs. His front paws repeatedly jab the glass in rapid succession, mimicking the swift punches of a boxer. With his stance steady and his “opponent” clear, the scene looks less like a pet trying to come indoors and more like a canine sparring match.
The owner, recording from inside the house, watches as the pup keeps up his relentless routine. To add to the hilarity, the video uses an audio overlay of gloves punching, which lines up almost perfectly with the dog’s movements. The timing is so precise that the dog genuinely appears to be in training for a big fight night.
TikTok users couldn’t get enough of the pup’s performance. Within just a week, the clip racked up astonishing numbers, including nearly 8 million likes, more than 25K comments, and 3.4 million shares. That level of engagement places it among the standout viral pet videos of the year.
As with most viral clips, the comments section became just as entertaining as the video itself. One user jokingly asked the owner if they were “safe” on the inside, given the intensity of the dog’s moves. Another quipped, “He’s fighting Jake Paul when?” Even TikTok’s official UK account joined in on the fun with, “What’s he training for?”. The memes came rolling in, too, including an edited photo of the pup wearing blue boxing gloves. Not to mention, a popular reply summed up the mood with a warning: “Open the door or else…”
