Mitt Romney Agrees To Let Evander Holyfield Punch Him For Money

Progressives throughout the country might like the idea of Evander Holyfield landing a few blows on former presidential candidate and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

Knowing this, Romney’s doing what his critics often accused him of during his political career - eagerly giving the people what he thinks they want.

According to the Associated Press, Romney agreed to face five-time World Champion Evander Holyfield in a charity boxing match in Salt Lake City on Friday night.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to CharityVision, an organization that funds eye surgery for patients in developing countries. CharityVision is run by Romney’s son, Josh.

Both Romney and Holyfield will wear full protective gear, to make certain Romney doesn’t inflict any serious injuries on Evander Holyfield.
