The Mayweatther v. Pacquiao match may not be the most anticipated fight of the year, after all.
Mitt Romney is known as a fighter on the political front, but this May he will step into the boxing ring to face a mighty opponent, former Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield. The former presidential hopeful has thrown his hat into the ring for an exhibition for Charity Vision, an organization that provides vision care and aid to orphans with eye problems globally. Charity Vision is run by one of Romney's friends.
At 6 ft 2, Mitt Romney stands just one inch taller than Holyfield, but is the first to admit he is no match.
FOX News is calling Romney the "Stormin' Mormon."
“It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious,” Romney said in an interview with 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.”
The bought is expected to last one round.
Holyfield, 52 said he would take it easy on his opponent."I'm gonna show him how to hit my hands. . .I'm the best guy to get in with. I'm not gonna take you out."
The black tie charity boxing match takes place in Salt Lake City, UT on May 15 and will air on Spike, ESPN, Showtime, and HBO.
