I have said more than once that international conflict needs to be resolved by more head of state on head of state boxing matches instead of ridiculous bombing campaigns that mostly kill civilians who, in my experience as one myself, have a near universal opinion of "basically all war is stupid"
international conflict needs the 'leader' on the front lines.. you want to murder other humans for whatever gain, you pull the trigger
"Conservative" Andrew Callaghan? LOL since when?
OP posted an authorization mouthpiece from one of the countries with the least press freedoms on the entire planet...

I didn't give them a click, but I'm sure the whole article is bullshit
Terrible source, but it seems to be real according to a better one: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/ready-rumble-hunter-biden-challenges-trumps-sons-cage-match-2026-04-09/
Edit from the Reuter's link: "(This story has been corrected to fix the description of commentator Andrew Callaghan to left-wing, not conservative, in paragraph 3)"
Biden said he got a call from left-wing social media commentator Andrew Callaghan, who told him that he was organizing the match.
They just went the other way with it. Not sure I'd call him that, either.
The full quote was "conservative media commentator" which I think means he comments on conservative media, not that he is a conservative who is a media commentator. I agree it's confusing wording though.
Would've been better if they just called him a gonzo journalist as he's closer to that then a commentator.
Anyone else got a flashback of that fight between musk & zuckerberg? So long ago, can't remember who won......
So long ago, can't remember who won......
Pr people
They better drug test both sides beforehand and if they aren't blitzed out of their minds on coke or crack it's an instant DQ.
on coke or crack it's an instant DQ
Drug test wise those are 100% the same btw. Don't mind me I'm just pedantic
Fair enough lol. I just wanted each one to have their drug of choice.
Fair. Although in this case I think semantically we could argue it's more of a "method of choice" thing. Kinda like smoking dabs vs taking edibles. Not exactly but close enough. Especially if one doesn't decarb the edibles.

What fucking idiot thinks Channel 5 is right wing?!
Answer:
The mouthpiece for a fascist authorarian apparently...
In 2024, Reporters Without Borders ranked Turkey 158th in the world for press freedom among 180 countries. According to Reporters Without Borders, “The witch hunt waged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government against its media critics has come to a head since an abortive coup in July 2016. A state of emergency has allowed the authorities to eliminate dozens of media outlets with the stroke of a pen, reducing pluralism to a handful of low-circulated and targeted publications.”
In review, when reporting non-Turkey-related news, TRT World reports with minimally loaded language and utilizes credible sources such as Vox, Moscow Times, NY Times, Washington Post, Tass and republishes credible news agencies such as Reuters.
TRT World reflects a pro-government tone in its national coverage, as seen through its analysis of the upcoming elections. Most national coverage heavily sided with the ruling party and less coverage of the main opposition party candidate. Further, the UK’s Spectator states TRT World is “President Erdogan’s mouthpiece to woo the west.” In short, this is a pro-government propaganda source.
Although TRT World presents relatively low biased coverage of USA news, such as “Trump cancels summit with Kim; North Korea still wants talks,” they source through large blocks of quotes without providing any links to the sources.
I hope he beats them with a laptop
Cock slap them
this... is not helping.
"What do you mean we're both not allowed to have someone else fight for us? That's life, that's how it works no? Someone else does everything for me and I get the results! Why is this different!? Communist!!!"
Can I take hunter’s place to beat the shit out of trump’s sons?
Will they be allowing timeouts for more cocaine?
I would pay to see that! but yeah, no way they'd actually want to do that fight - they'll dodge it like they dodge responsibility, drafts and intellect.
This must be a simulation.
Neanderthals...
Which side?
All. Fucking spoiled rich kids.
I have met Hunter Biden. I will take that bet.
Can we not.
conservative social media commentator Andrew Callaghan
I haven't watched much Channel 5 content recently. Is Andrew actually sliding to the right? I thought he was more of an "enlightened centrist" who provided coverage to people on both sides of the aisle
He’s still pretty enlightened centrist. I think he’s more concerned about making sure everyone thinks he’s cool than real gonzo journalism now, though.
He keeps his interviews pretty center so he can keep doors open but he's for sure a leftist. If you watch the interview with Nick Shirley or his series on homelessness and gentrification it comes out pretty strong
Trial by combat is back on the menu boys!
Trumps don’t even know how to make a fist they won’t last a minute with anyone in a cage
Let’s Goooo!
The only problem is that someone will win. A better idea would be a race to the Titanic wreck.
I bet Obama can take on all 3
