Hunter Biden proposes cage match with Trump Jr. and Eric
Hunter Biden is taking a swipe at Donald Trump’s oldest sons—at least, that’s how it landed in a video posted during the run-up to a new tour.
In the announcement, Hunter Biden—described as the “scandal-scarred” son of former President Joe Biden—said he wants to face off against Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in a cage match. “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,” Hunter Biden said, speaking in a video announcement shared by YouTuber Andrew Callaghan on his Channel 5 Instagram page.
The proposal immediately raised the obvious question: could the Trump Organization’s leadership—headed by the two oldest sons—actually step into that ring? The Trump Organization, along with the White House, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Hunter Biden also used the moment to plug his own calendar. He said he would be appearing at “Carnival” shows in Phoenix, San Diego, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, later this month. There was no delay on the entertainment side—just the same old political volatility attached to his name.
Callaghan, meanwhile, was cautious. He couldn’t be reached for comment. But in an email to USA Today, he said he thought Hunter Biden made the remark “in jest,” while adding he’d be “more than happy to facilitate” the match if the Trumps are “willing to engage Hunter in mutual combat.” It’s a specific kind of open door. Just not a promise.
An attorney for Hunter Biden, Barry Coburn, declined comment.
All of this is happening against the backdrop of the 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, when Trump repeatedly targeted Hunter Biden in remarks about alleged profiteering tied to his father’s time in office. Trump accused Hunter Biden of profiting off his father’s time in office and asked rally crowds, “Where’s Hunter?” Those allegations centered on Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies while Joe Biden was vice president.
Records cited in the account say Hunter Biden and his firm made about $11 million from 2013 to 2018. Joe Biden remained vice president until early 2017. Hunter Biden denied wrongdoing connected to that work.
Later, the legal case moved from allegations to court. Hunter Biden was hit with federal gun and tax evasion charges. He was convicted by a jury in the first case, and pleaded guilty in the second. But the resolution that still hangs over the story—late 2024—came when he was controversially pardoned by his father before he was sentenced in either case. Hunter Biden has said the cases left him in debt.
That financial strain spilled into another fight, too: Hunter Biden is being sued by his former attorneys for failing to pay his legal fees. His current lawyer said in a court filing that “we do not contest the proposition that a substantial portion of the invoices it has issued remain unpaid,” but also argued Hunter Biden is “impecunious,” which Merriam-Webster defines as “having very little or no money.”
And while Hunter Biden’s remarks focus on a potential cage match, the wider political picture continues to feature the Trump family’s business gains. The Trump sons are believed to have made hundreds of millions of dollars during the first year of their father’s second term, including from cryptocurrency ventures that have involved foreign investments.
What really stands out is how quickly a legal and political saga got repackaged—at least for a moment—into a challenge that sounds like it belongs in entertainment rather than court filings.
