George Zimmerman to Fight DMX in ‘Celebrity’ Boxing Match

Sigh….

George Zimmerman has  obtained an opponent for his Mar. 1 “Celebrity” boxing match, DMX. The bout reportedly attracted more than 15,000 requests to fight the Florida resident and the names of many celebrities came into the mix like Game, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Mike Tyson.

Zimmerman, the man that was famously acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin, claims that boxing was a hobby and interest before “the incident” happened close to two years ago. He also claims that friends put him in touch with Damon Feldman, the owner of Celebrity Boxing. 

Feldman called into Hot 97 this morning where the morning show team let him say his piece before expressing their frustrations, both personal and on behalf of the hip hop community, with him profiting off of the death of Trayvon Martin. From Feldman’s perspective, he believes he’s giving America an opportunity to seek justice.

If you feel that this fight shouldn’t happen because it’s exploiting the death of Trayvon Martin, or any other reason, there’s an online petition going around to stop the fight. The goal is to receive 100,000 signatures.

On the other hand, information about where the fight will happen or how it can be viewed hasn’t been made available yet.

Also, to let you know just how much salt this throws on an old wound, today (Feb. 5) would have been Trayvon Martin’s 19th birthday.

    I am with the Martin family 1000%. I say put him in the ring with each celebrity and the dad. Let them beat him until they feel time is going to get better. We all know the father has a lot of pinned up anger so fuck Zimmerman and what image he trying to make.

    If boxing was his hobby before the Treyvon Martin incident then why did he have to defend himself with a gun? I hope DMX beats this guy into hiding so we never have to hear about him again.
