Former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will box former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield for charity on May 15.
Romney (0-0) and Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs) agreed to the bout in order to support Charity Vision, an organization that focuses on helping physicians in the developing world put an end the blindness epidemic.
"It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious," Romney told the Salt Lake Tribune. "It won't be much of a fight. We'll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit.”
Holyfield, who has not competed professionally since 2011, is a four-time heavyweight champion and is best known for his infamous bouts against Mike Tyson in 1996 and 1997.
