Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau took the fight to each other Saturday night in a different sort of political arena.
In a charity boxing match, Trudeau defeated Brazeau after the referee stopped the fight in the third round.
The three-round bout was held at an Ottawa hotel as part of an event to raise money for cancer research.
The brash, young senator from Maniwaki, Que., was the odds-on favourite to win.
He has a martial arts background and served in the Canadian military.
Trudeau, 40, took up boxing in his 20s and sparred in the gym on and off over the years.
