Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney is slated to box former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield for charity.

The fundraising event is set for May 15 in Salt Lake City.

“It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious,” Romney, 68, told the Salt Lake City Tribune. “It won’t be much of a fight. We’ll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit.”

The fight will raise money for Charity Vision, a humanitarian organization that helps the blind.

“We just thought it would be a lot better to provide this kind of entertainment rather than just have dinner and listen to speakers,” said Romney.
