Boxing match at the White House?

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he’s thinking of staging a UFC match on the White House grounds with upward of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence.  Trump announced his plan in Iowa during the kickoff for a year’s worth of festivities to celebrate America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.  The Republican president also announced a culminating festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and a separate athletic competition featuring high school athletes from across the country.
