Mitt Romney, In Tights And Cape, Gets Back In The Ring For Charity

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (CBS) – Mitt Romney has already proven that he's not afraid to get in the ring – last year he took on Evander Holyfield in a charity boxing event.

But over the weekend the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee traded in the gloves for some spandex and a cape.

KUTV reports that Romney participated in "Fight Night 2016" Saturday with celebrities like Oscar de la Hoya and Mario Lopez.

The event benefited CharityVision, an organization run by Romney's son, Josh, that aims to end world blindness.

Dressed in a blue wrestling tights and a red cape, Romney bore a close resemblance to "Nacho Libre."
