Trudeau, impatient at what he saw as stalling tactics by the opposition ahead of a vote on Wednesday evening, crossed the floor in the House of Commons to grab one legislator and drag him to his seat, accidentally elbowing another in the chest.
When Trudeau was asked how he felt as his workout came to a finish, he first caught his breath and then replied with his trademark smile, Good! Oh, yeah.'
He seems like a pretty cool guy,' said Tony Baldwin, who has been a trainer at Gleason's for seven years, after watching Trudeau take on a string of sparring partners.
He was in New York a day early in advance of signing the Paris climate-change agreement on Friday.
It was great to train him. He is very likable and he has the potential to impact people in his country and around the world very positively,' Foreman said afterward. And he's got a heavy punch!'
With a mix of gym faithful and media members looking on, the 44-year-old Trudeau spent most of his hour-long workout sparring with professional boxer and former WBA super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman.
Returning to the spotlight that accompanied his White House visit and bromance' with Barack Obama last month, Trudeau donned a red sleeveless top that revealed his large native Haida raven tattoo to spar at Gleason's in Brooklyn, a gym made famous by the likes of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and the Raging Bull' Jake LaMotta.
