Justin Trudeau: Boxing Match Coming Between Liberal MP And Tory Senator Patrick Brazeau

CP/Alamy

Justin Trudeau is taking his fighting spirit from the House of Commons into the boxing ring.

Trudeau will be boxing against Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau to raise money for cancer research, according to the Hill Times.

Brazeau holds a second-degree black belt in karate and told the Toronto Star he would jump at the chance to beat on Trudeau in public.

Trudeau also challenged Defence Minister Peter Mackay and Tory MP Rob Anders to fight, but neither could find the time to train for the charity bout.

The two politicians have been training for the three round fight since November.

The fundraiser is being organized by Ottawa's Final Round Boxing Club and tickets will be $250. It will take place at the Hampton Inn Convention Centre on March 31.

On the weekend, Trudeau shaved his moustache at the Liberal convention to raise money for the Judy LaMarsh Fund, which helps female Liberal candidates.

Back in November 2011, Trudeau did an on-stage striptease to entice bids for a date with him from the ladies at the What A Girl Wants Gala. The money went to the Canadian Liver Foundation.

Justin is actually following in his father's footsteps by taking up boxing. Pierre Trudeau's childhood boxing gloves were auctioned for charity in January of last year at the Walrus Foundation Gala.

After the big fight, Justin's gloves may be worth something too.

Foul-Mouthed Politicians

Careless Whisper(01 of05)

However you look at Canada's 15th prime minister, it's hard not to see Pierre Elliott Trudeau as a politician cut from a very different cloth. While much of his globe-trotting, playboy image was doubtless driven by the media -- Trudeau was actually a workaholic and sleepless intellectual -- the man certainly had his moments.Luckily, the news wasn't delivered quite so relentlessly in 1971 as it is these days - or Trudeau wouldn't have heard the end of it when he told an opposition member to "F-- Off".Well, actually he mouthed it. And although the TV tape clearly captured his salty salute, Trudeau was allowed to tell reporters he had actually said 'Fuddle Duddle'.And that was that. (credit:CP)

That's Pat F--ing Martin, To You(02 of05)

Outspoken doesn't seem to quite cut it when describing NDP MP Pat Martin. The man speaks out a lot. And every now and then, he brings the thunder. Like last November, when he treated his 1,400 Twitter followers to a smorgasbord of swearage."This is a f---ing disgrace... closure again. And on the Budget! There's not a democracy in the world that would tolerate this jackboot s---." And the cherry on top?Telling one of his followers, "F-- you." (credit:CP)

What About Bob?(03 of05)

Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae took a page from Pat Martin's profanity playbook on Wednesday -- and took it to Twitter.A tweet about a feud between liberals Zach Paikin and Max Naylor may have caught him before breakfast. "What bullshit is this?" he tweeted back.Sure, the word likely ceased offending most people decades ago. In fact, we don't even bother covering most of the letters with asterisks.But hey, it does incorporate the s-word - which we still cover with asterisks. (credit:CP)

No Fuddle Duddling Around(04 of05)

Unlike his father, Justin Trudeau didn't merely mouth the words. In fact, he let them ring out from the rafters at the House of Commons on December 14. 'You piece of sh---'The recipient? Environment Minister Peter Kent. You know, Canada's public face of Kyoto withdrawal.Also unlike his father, young Trudeau probably knew the Fuddle Duddle Defence wouldn't cut it. So within minutes of uttering the words, he owned up to them."I lost my temper and used language that was most decidedly unparliamentary and for that I unreservedly apologize and withdraw my remark," Trudeau said at the end of question period.

15-Year-Old 'Jack Ass'(05 of05)

Treasury Board President Tony Clement was forced to apologize after calling 15-year-old Keith Pettinger a "Jack ass" in a private Twitter message. Clement sent the message after the teen criticized the spelling in one of the minister's tweets. (credit:CP)
