Not Satire.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that former Republican nominee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will be getting in the boxing ring and fighting Evander Holyfield in May as part of a charity fundraiser. I’m not making this up.
“It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious,” Romney quipped in an interview recently. “It won’t be much of a fight. We’ll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit.” Alas, it will be a one-fight career for the 68-year-old former Massachusetts governor and Salt Lake City Winter Olympics boss.
Holyfield agreed to participate in a fundraising event for Charity Vision, a humanitarian organization founded about 20 years ago by retired Salt Lake physician Bill Jackson, who, as a mission president in the Philippines for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, saw the suffering in areas with abject poverty and the total lack of medical care.

He can’t get enough of having his ass handed to him by black guys.
Next up, a basketball game vs the Harlem Globetrotters
Best comment in the history of all blogging.
Romney’s only hope is to buy the corporation Holyfield works for and fire him.
I’m so proud of you guys for not suggesting ” oh great, another black guy taking the fall for a white guy”. Do you have inside information? 🙂
At least there’s no chance of him bending Holyfield’s ear.
I hear the fight is gonna be “street rules”…
Romney gets to use a gun, bodyguards, and stay in his car… and if Holyfield “acts aggressive” he will be shot by the police.
Just like the 2012 Presidential race, I predict a Romney win by Tko in the first round
Or, ouch, that’s going to leave a mark!
Wonder if Holyfeld can come up with a better punch than ” we also have fewer horses, and bayonets.”. I don’t think so.
