Unfortunately there was never an official boxing match at the White House, however, President Theodore Roosevelt was and avid boxer and spared hundreds of times while President. He would use his private office upstairs in the White House.
According to a NY Times story from October 28, 1917 (see related links for PDF of the story).
Captain Dan T Moore, General Leopard Wood and Phil Sheridan were regular sparring partners.
According to Colonel Moore who, when he was a Captain in the Artillery and aid to the President, said "I boxed with the President on average, three times a week throught two winters 1904-05 and 1905-06... I must have had the gloves on a hundred times."
"We always had the matches upstairs in the White House, in the President's private office. There was no room that could be used exclusively for a gymnasium so we would push back the chairs and shove the desk out of the way.."
