This is a site to behold. Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney climbs into the ring for a fight. Now, this is not the political ring that politicians climb into in order to persuade you to vote for them in an election, but an actual boxing ring. He climbed into the ring with none other than Evander Holyfield.

Holyfield is a five-time boxing champion. During the 2012 presidential election, Romney got in the ring with Holyfield. Luckily, this was not a real boxing bout. This boxing bout was actually for charity. Romney was 68 at the time and Holyfield was 52. You can see the age difference and luckily Romney was the one throwing the punches.
