Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, has publicly challenged President Donald Trump's oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, to a cage match later this month. The challenge was made in a video posted by YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, in which Biden announced his participation in Callaghan's upcoming "Carnival" tour, set to visit Phoenix, San Diego, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In the video, Hunter Biden said, "I think he's trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr. I told him I'd do it, 100% in, if he can pull it off." Callaghan later told USA Today that he believed Biden made the comments "in jest" but added he would be "more than happy to facilitate" the event if the Trump brothers were "willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat."
As of Thursday (April 9), neither Donald Trump Jr. nor Eric Trump had responded to the challenge on social media or through official channels. The Trump Organization and the White House also declined to comment.
The feud between the Biden and Trump families has played out publicly for years. President Donald Trump frequently targeted Hunter Biden during the 2020 and 2024 campaigns, raising questions about his foreign business dealings. Hunter Biden has denied any wrongdoing but was convicted on federal gun charges and pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was pardoned by his father, Joe Biden, in late 2024 before sentencing, a move that generated controversy.
Hunter Biden is currently being sued by former attorneys for unpaid legal fees and has said these cases left him in debt. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have expanded their business interests, including ventures in cryptocurrency and combat sports. Donald Trump Jr. was appointed as a strategic adviser to MMA Inc last year, and both brothers have been regular attendees at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events alongside their father.
It is unclear if the proposed cage match will move forward. The White House is set to host a UFC event in June as part of celebrations for the United States' 250th anniversary, but there has been no confirmation regarding the involvement of either family in a public fight.
