It’s a great time to be a boxing fan. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have finally settled their differences and will meet in the ring on May 2nd. Just 13 days later, former crusierweight and heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield will step into the ring for the first time in four years against Mitt Romney.

That’s right. Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield — who won fights against the likes of George Foreman and Mike Tyson — is going to box 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney, now 68 years old.

The bout will take place May 15th in Salt Lake City to benefit CharityVision, a non-profit that helps people suffering from sight impairment. Romney, who stands at 6-foot-2, one inch taller than Holyfield, might have a slight reach advantage, but admitted that he could end up the victim of what would be Holyfield’s 30th career victory by knockout.
