Hunter Biden has challenged Donald Trump's sons, Don Jr. and Eric, to a cage match. The challenge was made in a video posted to Instagram by Channel 5, a media company run by independent reporter Andrew Callaghan.
In the video, Biden said Callaghan had suggested organising the fight for his 'Channel 5 Carnival' tour. 'I told him I'd do it — 100 percent in if he can pull it off. And if he can't, I'm still coming,' Biden stated. It remains unclear whether the Trump sons will accept, and details such as date, venue, and whether Biden would face one or both opponents have not been confirmed.
If the fight occurs, it would surpass the strangeness of President Trump's planned UFC 250 event on the White House lawn, scheduled for June 14 to coincide with the US's 250th anniversary and Trump's 80th birthday. The UFC event is set to feature a lightweight title unification bout between champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje.
Biden, 56, would be at an age disadvantage compared to Don Jr., 48, and Eric, 42. None of the men are known to have formal combat sports training. The challenge follows a pattern of non-athletes settling disputes in the cage, such as the proposed but unrealised fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg in 2023.
The Independent has sought comment from the White House and the Trump Organization.
