Maybe your memory misremembered? Here's a video of a kangaroo who knocks around Marty the Clown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_NqulhmZWc&feature=relatedAnyone here in Australia? How common are kangaroos? Are they everywhere, like we have deer here? In Calif, deer are as common as rabbits. Well, more common. I see only a few rabbits, but I see lots of deer (okay, possibly because they stand out better).
At YouTube, there are lots of videos of boxing kangaroos. They box with humans (and generally win) and they also box each other. It's a natural action for them. Just search for "boxing kangaroo" and watch a few.

There is a clip they showed on ITV, on 'It'll Be Alright On The Night' or some such, that it reminded me of. The scene: a summer fair, adults and children milling around.In an area where various people are trying to entice the punters is a RonaldMcDonald with balloons that he steps forward to give to passing children, thus resembling the child-catcher from 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' inclown-paint; next to Ronald is a kangaroo on a leash as per the above video.Kangaroo looks sideways in an agitated manner as Ronald smilingly goes forward and offers his balloons. Kangaroo's eyes and shoulders lower. Kangaroo obviously no longer looking at Ronald by turn of head but perhapscasting sideways glances. Kangaroo does small agitated leap and is restrained by leash-holder. Kangaroo settles down. Ronald goes forward, back, forward, back. Ronald steps forward again and gives more kids some balloons. As soon as Ronald has stepped back the 'roo goes mental and before the leash-holder can do anything the 'roo has kick-boxed Ronald to the ground and is bouncingin a heavy-weight champ 'get-up-if-you-want-more' stylee. The 'roo isrestrained and pulled back as Ronald gets up smiling his fake clown smile tothe puzzled children before him. 'Roo, having none of it, weighs in again with an even more devastating kick-box assault -until the leash-holder andsome others drag him off. And so on...As the woman on the vid intimated the 'roo knows how global capitalism is threatening its very existence and is notafraid to show it.
