Donald Trump says he’d knock out Joe Biden in a boxing match

Trump was speaking at a promotional event for Holyfield vs Belfort.

Former US President Donald Trump has said that he would happily fight his successor, Joe Biden, in a boxing match. During a promotional event for Evander Holyfield's return to the ring on Saturday night, Trump was thinking out loud about who he'd be up for facing in a bout. "Well if I had to pick somebody in the world, not only a professional boxer because I’ll take a pass on the professional boxers – that can be a very dangerous subject," Mr Trump told the audience by telephone. He continued: "I think probably my easiest fight would be Joe Biden because I think he’d go down very, very quickly." Trump then added that he reckoned Biden would "go down in the first few seconds." According to the Independent, the comments drew a smattering of laughter and applause at the Triller Fight Club event, which was attended by the hosts, the boxers, and a few journalists.

Trump made the remarks with a certain comment from Biden in mind, saying: "You know, he once said, 'Oh, I’d like to take him behind the barn.'

"He’d be in big trouble if he ever did."

After the leak of the now-infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump was recorded bragging that he could "grab [women] by the p***y," Biden said that he that if he were in high school with Trump he'd "beat the hell out of him." He said: "When a guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, 'I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it,' they asked me, would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. "I said 'If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'" Related links:
