SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH —Former Gov. Mitt Romney is ready to step into the boxing ring in an exhibition with former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield -- for a good cause. Romney and Holyfield will square off on Friday night for Utah-based Charity Vision's "Fight Night."

"It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious," Romney told the Salt Lake Tribune in an interview.

Both fighters took to the scale on Thursday, and the faced off before the crowd. Holyfield claims that he's so confident of victory that he plans to allow Romney to get a "free shot" and land as hard as he can. After that freebie, Holyfield has promised to let his hands go - for charity.
