“We all like McGregor, but I think it’s not his sport,” said Trudeau while visiting a Brantford, Ont., ice cream shop Friday. “Mayweather’s going to teach him what boxing’s all about.”

Trudeau is no stranger to boxing. In 2012, Trudeau fought and won in a charity boxing match against Senator Patrick Brazeau. This week, he also attended a charity boxing match in Montreal on Wednesday.

But Trudeau doesn’t think it’s going to be a spectacular fight to watch.

“It’s not going to be a great fight,” said Trudeau with a shrug, as he trailed off.
