A wannabe tough guy Conservative senator challenged Trudeau to a boxing match in 2012, figuring that he was just a pretty boy who would be easy to beat up. It didn't work out that way - Trudeau beat the senator pretty handily: https://youtu.be/XuSpZ3_5pTc?si=_VU7xA-znHTz7XkP&t=701

I don't think his technique was great, but I guess it didn't need to be given the outcome!

Definitely not a "boxer" just someone who boxes sometimes. Neither looks particularly strong.
