Lately, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron took the internet by storm after two of his workout photos became public. In the mentioned photos, the 47-year-old was seen hitting a boxing bag. Likewise, several people began to wonder if Macron practiced boxing regularly. On that note, we came across an old video of Emmanuel Macron sparring with a boxing coach in broad daylight.

In the video, Macron displayed his ability to throw punches, standing in an orthodox style. And although the president missed most of the punches he attempted, he succeeded in landing two body shots before the end of the clip. Here is what happened.

During the 2022 presidential campaign, ahead of the commencement of his second term when Emmanuel Macron visited Saint-Denis stadium, he decided to put on a pair of gloves and show off his boxing skills. Wearing a white shirt, a black tie, and black trousers, Macron went toe-to-toe with a boxing coach under the bright sun. Maintaining the orthodox style, the president attempted a couple of jabs and straight hands on the coach. While the boxing coach refrained from attacking the president, most of Macron’s punches were dodged.

Finally, out of respect for the president, the boxing coach completely lowered his guard. And it was then that the president landed two punches on the coach’s stomach as the onlookers cheered him up. Soon after this success, Emmanuel Macron, who joined forces with Lewis Hamilton, called a stop to this fight. Anyway, in this context, it must be mentioned that following this campaign, Macron defeated Marine Le Pen with 58.55% of the votes on his side.

In this connection, let us also take a look at the photo that has now gone viral on social media.
