‘Sting like a butterfly’: Holyfield jabs Romney for charity (The Associated Press)
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield squared off in the ring at a charity fight night event in Salt Lake City. Romney, 68, and Holyfield, 52, sparred, if you could call it that, for just two short rounds Friday before Romney ran away from the boxer and threw in the towel, giving up a round early in the lighthearted fight that came amid several other fights by professional boxers and an auction. Romney’s son Josh Romney, who lives in Utah, serves as a volunteer president for CharityVision. I was very proud of Mitt,” said Katie Anderson, who attended the event with her husband.
