Canadian Sen. Patrick Brazeau took to X to challenge Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, to a boxing match for charity in response to President Trump’s tariff war with Canada.
Canadian Senator Patrick Brazeau said he is 100% serious about putting his dukes up to face off against Donald Trump Jr. in a boxing match.
Brazeau’s challenge to go into the ring with Republican President Donald Trump’s eldest son is in the spirit of charity, and to settle tariff war tensions between the U.S. and Canada.
Last Thursday, the Quebec lawmaker—with a background in martial arts who served in the Canadian military—took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
In light of these bogus tariffs from President @realDonaldTrump from the 🇺🇸 onto 🇨🇦, I challenge you to a fight to raise money for cancer research or an organization of your choosing.”“Our countries don’t need to be at war but we can fight to raise money.”“I’m in if you are.”
Brazeau prefaced the tweet by mentioning his 2012 “Thrilla on the Hilla” charity match with Justin Trudeau, then a member of Parliament, which Trudeau won.
“I know, I still can’t believe it myself,” he wrote, adding, “But I no longer smoke and have been sober for almost 5 years.”
