Boris Johnson brutally mocked for his attempt at boxing

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.

Now the prime minister, Boris Johnson, has stepped through the ropes and shown what kind of punch he can pack and let's just say, he's no John Prescott. 

Johnson was at a boxing club in the north east ahead of his live televised debate with Jeremy Corbyn on ITV.

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.

We honestly can't wait until the Eddie Hearn memes start rolling in for this one.
