Celebrity Boxing founder invites Bill Belichick's former and current partners to 'settle beef' in the ring
After a reported dispute between Bill Belichick's current girlfriend and his ex, the two have an offer to duke it out in the boxing ring. Linda Holliday and Jordon Hudson both reportedly attended the Dreamland Stroll Party on December 6. Holliday's daughters, Ashley and Kat Hess, were DJing the party. Holliday, according to People, got "aggressive" with Hudson, and the two reportedly shared an intense moment. Now, they have a chance to hash it out once and for all, thanks to Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman. "I heard about the situation with Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday, as she ran into his current girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. They got into it at a party a couple months back," Feldman said, via TMZ Sports. "So I wanted to reach out, and I want to give them the opportunity and the platform here at Celebrity Boxing to settle that beef in the ring. Let's get it girls." A staffer wrote in an incident report obtained by TMZ that "Ms. Hudson was a paying guest. No concerns had been raised regarding her behavior nor had any issues been reported up until that point in the evening (the event began at 7pm)." "Ms. Holliday felt her presence was inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters. She asked that I remove Ms. Hudson from the premises, to which I responded that I would speak with Ms. Hudson after contacting Dreamland executive director Alicia Carney to discuss the matter." Security footage then showed Holliday confronting Hudson in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by roughly 200 people. Holliday was apparently irked because it "involve[d] my girls," and her "momma bear" emerged. Neither Holliday, Hudson nor the Nantucket Dreamland organization immediately responded to requests for comment. Hudson and Sapini were eventually escorted out by that staffer shortly before the lights came on at the party, TMZ reported. Holliday dated Belichick from 2007 to 2022. Hudson and Belichick, who have a 49-year age gap, made their relationship public last year. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday receive boxing match offer after shock Christmas party spat
Any leftover animosity between Jordon Hudson and Linda Holliday now has the chance to be settled in a boxing match, as Bill Belichick 's former and current partners have been given the opportunity to step inside the ropes as opponents. Celebrity Boxing has made the public offer to both Hudson, 24, and Holliday for a bout where throwing fists would be on the table. There is no word on how much either would stand to make by making their boxing debuts or whether the fight would be for charity. Any match would come after their Nantucket Christmas Party spat from last year. 'I wanted to reach out and I want to give them the opportunity and the platform here at Celebrity Boxing to settle that beef in the ring,' company founder Damon Feldman told TMZ. Neither Holliday, Belichick, or Hudson have acknowledged the boxing request, with the 73-year-old busy in his first season on the sidelines at North Carolina. According to a 2024 incident report filed by an employee at a Nantucket party venue, Dreamland, Holliday was enraged by Hudson's presence at the December 6 event. Holliday's twin daughters - Ashley and Kat Hess - were DJing at the party. Belichick and Holliday, 61, broke up in September 2023 after 16 years together. He met Hudson on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021. The incident report says Holliday thought Hudson being there was 'inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters.' The report claims that at 9:30pm, Holliday approached the member of staff and asked her to remove Hudson, 24, from the party. While on the phone with the venue's executive director to discuss removing Hudson, staff spotted Holliday and friend Elin Hilderbrand - believed to be the New York Times bestselling author - approach Hudson on the dance floor with 'threatening body language and escalating aggression'. But as the employee approached the dance floor, Holliday and her friends - which also included Heather Thorpe - decided to back away. 'I asked Ms. Hudson if she thought it was a good idea to be there considering the clear animosity the above individuals felt towards her,' the employee wrote in the report. 'She defended herself by saying she'd done nothing wrong, and it was her first time attending Christmas Stroll and wanted to attend the "big party" going on that night, which happened to be the one featuring the Hess Twins.' 'She said she was not looking to cause any problems, but just wanted to go out and have fun with her friend.' Hudson was attending the event with Melissa Sapini, last year's winner of the Miss Massachusetts beauty pageant. When realizing there were only a few minutes left of the party, Hudson is said to have agreed to leave if the employee accompanied them to the exit. As they waited by the exit, Hudson supposedly then told the employee that Holliday threatened Sapini during the clash on the dance floor. It was claimed Holliday told Hudson's friend that if she 'valued her current title, she should think twice about who her friends are' and that she 'had many powerful friends in the pageant organization.' The report says Sapini didn't speak but broke down in tears in the room and was 'wiping her eyes frequently'. After leaving Hudson and Sapini by the exit, the employee returned to find Holliday who said: 'If this didn't involve my girls, I don't think this would have bothered me as much, but because it did the "momma bear" in me came out.' Dreamland told TMZ that, despite the tense altercation, police and security were never involved. News of the tense encounter comes a day after Page Six reported that Hudson has been 'iced out' by the socialites of Nantucket, who are staying fiercely loyal to Holliday. Hudson has supposedly been trying to work her way into the social and charity scenes on the exclusive island that sits just off the coast in Massachusetts. Belichick's ex is a major player in those circles and, as a result, locals are shunning Hudson's attempts to muscle in. 'She's trying to claim her stake in the social circle. That is Linda's thing,' a source said. Hudson has come under fire in recent weeks over her relationship with the legendary NFL coach, 73, who recently took over the UNC Tar Heels. There have been a string of damaging reports about her influence over Belichick, while a number of big names have lined up to slam the couple. The criticism has snowballed ever since Belichick's infamous interview with CBS, when Hudson - sitting off-camera - interrupted to shut down questions about how they met. It was recently claimed that the coach's loved ones are 'digging into' his girlfriend amid fears she could tear down 'everything he's built'. Should the unlikely event of Holliday and Hudson stepping into the ring together come to fruition, their 37-year-age difference would be greater than the 30 years between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson from November's mega fight on Netflix. Celebrity Boxing is currently promoting future events with appearances from combat sports legends Ric Flair and Michael Spinks.
