VIDEO: Macron Puts on Boxing Gloves, Exchanges Punches with Boxer

The President of France continued his campaign in Saint-Denis, an area where leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon received about 60 percent of the votes in the first round.

During a visit to a local sports center, Macron donned boxing gloves and exchanged a few punches with amateur boxer Jean-Denys Nasaraba. However, the 23-year-old focused on protecting his face and avoiding the French president's 'strikes,' taking no offensive action himself.

Earlier, it was reported that Macron is the frontrunner in the first round of elections in France.
