The rough and tough sparring of the House of Commons is about to give way to the real thing in the ring, as Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau.
The two who apparently carry on a spirited bit of debate on Twitter are taking their left hooks and upper cuts to the ring in aid of Breast Cancer research.
Trudeau may actually have an edge in boxing, he trained as one in his youth, though Brazeau it seems has his disciplines in the martial arts holding a second degree black belt.
Regardless it should make for a spirited bout, as neither of the participants seems to have a great deal of respect for each other.
The National Post has lovely rendition of a fight poster (see above left) as well as some background on this tale of the tape.
