Watch the entire Romney vs. Holyfield fight here
Published at | Updated at
SALT LAKE CITY – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield squared off in the boxing ring Friday night in Salt Lake City.
Romney and Holyfield fought for just two short rounds before Romney ran from the boxer and his wife, Ann, threw in the towel on her husband’s behalf.
The two threw some light punches and largely just danced around in what was much more of a comedic event than an actual boxing match.
The purpose was to raise one million dollars for Charityvision – a nonprofit group aimed at curing blindness around the world.
Romney’s son, Josh, serves as a volunteer president for CharityVision. Organizers say they raised at least $1 million at Friday’s fight.
