It is true that the French president, Emmanuel Macron, no problem to “wrinkles” his image and to show us his… weaknesses.

Thus, on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the Soazig de la Moissonniere, Emmanuel Macron’s official photographer, posted two photos on her Instagram account. At the photos, the French president puts on his boxing gloves and looks more determined than ever.

Emmanuel Macron and boxing have had a long… love affair. For several years, the French president has been involved in this sport, which allows him to unwind when his daily life is quite difficult.

In the photos published by his personal photographer, Brigitte Macron’s husband has a determined look on his face, as if he wants to do battle with his opponent. Sure, he himself does not seem to have any rival…

In recent weeks, Emmanuel Macron had to face a series of “crises”, both on French soil and internationally. On the subject of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, for example, he has been consistently very tight-lipped about France’s intentions. “Maybe sometime – I don’t want it, I will not take the initiative – we should have businesses on the groundwhatever they are, to deal with the Russian forces”, he told “Le Parisien” on March 16, 2024.

Emmanuel Macron used to do boxing several times a week. “Twice a week, Emmanuel does a 45-minute workout”the First Lady of France had stated in “Paris Match” in an interview on November 16, 2023.

This is not the first time the French president appears in public with his boxing gloves on. In 2017, for example, to show his support for Paris’ bid for the 2024 Olympic Games, he did not hesitate to show off his boxing skills on the banks of the Seine. In 2022, in the midst of his re-election campaign, he did it again by trying his hand at a match during a visit to Saint-Denis.
