In this Sterling Special Report, Art Sterling traces the long and surprising history of fighters in the White House — from Andrew Jackson’s duels and George Washington’s wrestling days, to Abraham Lincoln’s prairie strength, Theodore Roosevelt’s boxing and judo in the White House basement, and Donald Trump’s decades-long connection to boxing, wrestling, and the fight game. With a UFC octagon planned for the South Lawn, the story becomes something more than a spectacle. It becomes a look at America’s restless, striving, combative spirit — and the presidents who carried it.
