President Donald Trump has built a 5,000-seat arena on the South Lawn of the White House. This arena will host a highly anticipated UFC fight.
In a related historical note, a 1917 page from the Richmond Times-Dispatch recounts an incident involving future president Theodore Roosevelt. The article discusses how Roosevelt sustained an eye injury during a boxing match in 1905. However, the archival document contains some factual inaccuracies.
For much of his presidency, Theodore Roosevelt kept the injury a closely guarded secret. He was partially blind in his left eye. It was only after his time in office that Roosevelt disclosed the injury’s cause. The injury happened during a boxing match, conducted in the White House.
