Sport - Boxing - Fists of fury 1924 Tile

Colorized photo from 1924 Original title: Theo Roosevelt, 3d boxing Location: Washington DC (maybe) Boxing was a popular sport in the past, mostly because Teddy Roosevelt loved the sport so much. In fact he loved any physical activity that let people punch him right in the fact. He said it made him felt alive, and while he wouldn't really win, he loved doing it, made him feel like a man. They said he had so much energy that he would always hold his hand in a fist, and in every image of him you'll see that, sometimes hiding it. Anyway, see that kid in red on the right? That's his grandson, named after him, Theodore Roosevelt III. The kid has a lot to catch up to if he wants to beat grandpa's success (the president was very accomplished actually), but his grandson was no slouch either by the way.
