Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become something of a left-wing heartthrob due to his various shirtless escapades and his trendy brand of “woke bae” feminism. For American liberals, Trudeau offers a lusty escape from their dreary political reality and the thankless exertion of pretending to be excited about Hillary Clinton.

Trudeau is also a professionally trained boxer, which his millennial fans think is totally rad. Trudeau’s fighting skills were on fully display several months ago when the prime minister “manhandled” a female colleague on the floor of the Canadian House of Commons.

Perhaps Trudeau’s training in the ring could be put to better use, for example, in actual boxing match versus an actual man. Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a skilled boxer at the University of Oxford who won all (four) of his bouts by knockout before the end of the second round, would probably be up for the challenge.

He’s a look at how the two parliamentarians measure up:

Tony Abbott

abott

Age: 58

Height: 5′ 11”

Weight class: Heavyweight

Body type: Rugged

Education: University of Sydney, University of Oxford

Nickname: “The Whirling Dervisher”

Special skills: Knocking people out

Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau

Age: 44

Height: 6′ 2”

Weight class: Light

Body type: Boyish

Education: Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf

Nickname: “The Shirtless Wunderkind,” “The Punchable Face”

Special skills: Spelunking, photobombing

Someone needs to make this happen. It might give the Canadian prime minister a useful outlet for his rage, so he doesn’t have to take it out on female colleagues. Would anyone really shed a tear if Justin Trudeau got punched in the face? Probably not.

They could even make it more interesting by bringing a third experienced boxer into the ring. Justin probably won’t feel so “woke” once he’s reeling from a right hook courtesy of “The Mormon Menace. ”
