The woman wearing black in the 14-second-clip has been named by MailOnline as 20-year-old River Island sales manager Lexi Ryder, from Northwich, Cheshire.
Her opponent wore a white top and grey shorts opposite Lexi, who opted for a bodysuit featuring extreme cutouts.
She uploaded a series of posts to her social media accounts following the brutal attack, thought to have broke out over the same man.
Lexi has since deleted the TikTok post she captioned: “Scrapping in Malia streets is not clever,” admitting her unwise role in the boozy brawl.
Bare-faced and wrapped up in a cosy grey hoodie in the TikTok, Lexi appears to be in better condition as a purple vape lies on her chest.
She said: “Black eye swollen, bruised nose, concussion, and a damaged ego.”
The video showed the boozy brawl escalate so far that they end up punching and kicking each other.
At one point, the woman in white was seen grabbing Lexi’s hair, yanking it down and punching her several times.
She then heaves her down to the ground before fleeing, leaving the 20-year-old sales manager bloodied on street.
Lexi was later filmed sitting on the floor, recovering from the brutal beating.
It comes after Brit tourists have been criticised for drunken, rowdy behaviour abroad.
Residents in Tenerife, where thousands took to the streets to call out low-quality tourism, have accused drunk holidaymakers of ruining their island.
The anti-tourist sentiment in the Canary islands quickly spread across Europe with protesters in other holiday hotspots calling for tourists to “go home”.
Graffiti have also appeared on walls in cities across Greece and Spain telling visitors to stay away.
Earlier this year, the UK’s ambassador to Spain urged British tourists in Magaluf to “show responsibility” as tensions boil over their alcohol-fuelled antics.
Hugh Elliott said Brits have to remember they are guests during their time in the party resort, as they’re accused of “drinking cheap beer” and being “low quality”.
Elliott’s visit comes as thousands of protesters demand tourist tax, fewer flights and a clampdown on foreigners buying houses march in Spain, Greece and Italy.
Speaking during a visit to Majorca yesterday to publicise the Stick With Your Mates campaign for responsible alcohol consumption, Elliott said: “Generally what we all want is responsibility.
“During holidays we all want to have a good time, don’t we, and young people above all.
“This is about understanding what responsibility is about, responsibility as guests because us foreigners are guests here in Spain and in Calvia, it’s a question of knowing how to behave with responsibility and have a good time.
“The tourism here is a type of tourism that appreciates the destination.”
