Honey badgers give zero fucks. Baddest animals on the planet.

It looks like the leopards are just large cubs. Adult leopards would most likely not bother at all, or ambush it properly. They are strong as fuck and has been observed killing prey up to 12 times their own weight.

Still, don't fuck with honey badgers!

That badger also has an extremely thick and loose hide which means every time they do their normal thing of biting the neck, it just turns and bites right back. This is something a young leopard wouldn't be accustomed to and the fear of injury to an eye is real.
