Mitt Romney throws hat in ring – the boxing ring, that is (The Associated Press)

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield are set to square off at a charity fight night event in Salt Lake City on Friday night. Romney and Holyfield, wearing full protective gear, will spar in the boxing ring for a lighthearted fight before the night’s three fights by professional boxers. Romney’s son Josh Romney, who lives in Utah, serves as a volunteer president for CharityVision.
