In "Is he out of his damn mind?!" news, Mitt Romney will reportedly square-off against Evander Holyfield in the ring. According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Romney vs. Holyfield will be the main event at the Rail Event Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 15. Of course, the fight will be a charity event to raise money for Charity Vision, an organization founded by physician Bill Jackson, who helps those people suffering from sight impairment.

Even though Romney has a one-inch advantage in the height department, he doesn't seem all that confident in his chances at defeating "The Real Deal."


"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."

If it comes down to being a short fight or Mitt getting knocked unconscious, we think the Democrats out there have a preference. You know...a good, safe bout. Duh!
