Alex Salmond would take out Donald Trump in boxing ring - bookies
The heavyweight political pair have been feuding since December when Trump lost a battle to prevent a windfarm being built near one of his Aberdeenshire golf courses.
At the time Salmond accused Trump of damaging the economy, calling him a “three-time loser”- but Trump was quick to hit back, branding the former SNP leader “a has-been and totally irrelevant.”

Responding once again Trump took a jab at Salmond - calling him “an embarrassment to Scotland.”
As the battle has escalated, bookies Ladbrokes have now calculated the odds for who would win in a dustup between the arch enemies - and it seems as though Salmond is likely to come out on top.
Ladbrokes have made Salmond the 1/2 favourite to win the match - whilst Donald Trump has been given the far longer odds of just 6/4.
But there is bad news for Trump haters - as they have also offered high 1/2 odds that Trump will visit the UK this year - and 1/4 odds that he will be the next president of the US.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “Along with most of the country we’d pay good money to see these two political heavyweights step into the ring.
“If the fight did go ahead, Salmond would be a strong favourite to end the argument with Trump once and for all.”
