Hunter Biden and the Trump brothers found themselves at the center of an unexpected showdown that has nothing to do with politics or courtrooms. The former president’s son issued a bold challenge that could pit the rival political families against each other in a setting far removed from Washington, D.C.
Hunter Biden challenges Donald Trump’s eldest sons to a cage fight
Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, challenged President Donald Trump’s sons to a cage fight on Thursday, April 9. The challenge targeted both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in the latest clash between the political families.
Hunter Biden revealed that filmmaker and content creator Andrew Callaghan called him about organising the bout. “I think he’s trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr.,” Biden said on social media. “I told him I’d do it, 100% in, if he can pull it off.”
Callaghan told USA TODAY in an email that he believed Hunter Biden made the comments “in jest.” He added that he is “more than happy to facilitate” the cage fight if the Trump brothers are “willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat.” It remains unclear if or when the match will take place.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump had not responded to the challenge on social media as of 10 p.m. ET on April 9. USA TODAY reached out to the Trump Organization for comment on the matter.
Hunter Biden made the comments in a video announcing appearances at “C5 Carnival” events later in April. The events span Phoenix, San Diego, Albuquerque, and New Mexico. Callaghan has interviewed Hunter Biden on his YouTube show multiple times since Joe Biden left office.
The feud between the families extends beyond the cage fight challenge. In 2025, first lady Melania Trump threatened to sue Hunter Biden over claims he made in a Channel 5 interview. Biden had alleged that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump. The first lady described the claim as “false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory” in a legal notice. A UFC event is scheduled at the White House on June 14, honouring America’s 250th anniversary.
