General election: Boris Johnson mocked after stepping into boxing ring | indy100 | indy100

Boxing appears to be a theme of this general election with both Nigel Farage and Jo Swinson already putting on the gloves and throwing a few punches in the ring.

Yet his overall performance in the boxing ring left a lot to be desired. As you can imagine there were many, many jokes to be made.

Here's some actual Boxing analysis for you, which demonstrates just how bad the PM would be if he ever decided to get in the ring against Tyson Fury.
