A feared bikie boss has been stabbed to death in a violent street fight just days after fronting court over a pub brawl with a rival gang.
Pitasoni Tali Ulavalu, president of the Comancheros' Canberra chapter, died from knife wounds to his neck at a Canberra bar about 12.05am on Sunday.
The 48-year-old was at Kokomo's nightclub in the CBD when he was stabbed in the melee before staggering outside and collapsing on the pavement.
Witnesses reported screaming and seeing punches being thrown amid the chaos as the fight spilled down the road.
Photos showed what appeared to be a body within the crime scene covered by a white cloth, with just his shoes poking out.

Blood and bloodied clothing were also left strewn across the street, The Canberra Times reported.
One witness said she saw a body lying at the scene unresponsive for some time.
At least 35 police officers converged on the nightclub from around Canberra but Ulavalu was already dead by the time they got there.
ACT Police said 'a number of people' were involved in the fracas, and that his death was being treated as suspicious.
No one has been arrested.
Detective Acting Superintendent Matthew Reynolds said a second man was injured in the brawl and rushed to hospital.

'The second man has non-life-threatening injuries and we will be speaking to him when we are able to,' he said.
The fight was captured on CCTV inside the nightclub and police called for anyone who may have other footage of the fight to come forward.
'There is CCTV of the incident and there were quite a number of people involved in the disturbance at the licenced premises,' he said.
Ulavalu faced court on Tuesday fighting charges of affray and assault over a brawl with the rival Nomads gang in January last year.
Police allege he and three other Comancheros walked into the Southern Cross Club in Woden and confronted four Nomads.
The court heard one of the Nomads was punched in the face and suffered a broken nose that was bleeding profusely in front of onlookers.

A woman dining at the pub with her family told the court she feared they would be 'collateral damage' from the fight.
Ulavalu has ACCA - a gang motto that means 'Always Comanchero, Comanchero Always' - shaved into his head and took over the chapter in 2018.
He was the victor in a power struggle with Peter Zdravkovic, who was later shot by junior Comanchero Axel Sidaros who was jailed for attempted murder.
Bars and clubs in the territory have only recently been allowed to welcome up to 100 people as social distancing restrictions are eased.
Police are expected to comment further on the incident later on Sunday morning.
The deadly brawl follows a 44-year-old man being killed in a fight outside the Kingston Hotel in Canberra's inner-south on July 5.
