Well, it looks like Evander Holyfield hasn’t hung up the gloves completely, not yet at least.

At 52 years old, former heavyweight champ, Holyfield has signed on to do a charity boxing match against politician and businessman Mitt Romney.

In 2012, Romney ran in Presidential elections and was defeated by President Barack Obama. Before the Presidential elections, Romney was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007.

In an interview with Fox Business Insider, Holyfield was asked “if he would actually hit the 68-year-old politician and his response, “We’ll see.”

“I just want him to stop hiding ’cause he’s gonna get the whooping. You can’t run and hide from me,” Holyfield said.

The boxing match is for a fund raiser for Charity Vision, a Salt Lake City “organization that provides surgeries and other services to poverty-stricken people with vision problems around the world.”

Romney said in an interview with he Salt Lake Tribune, “It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious. It won’t be much of a fight. We’ll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit.”

So the question is, will it really just a simple sparring match or will there be any real and actual punches thrown?
