George Zimmerman has agreed to be part of a celebrity boxing match.

Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on the night of February 26, 2012. He claims he shot the unarmed Martin in self-defense.

So far, he has no opponent, but the boxing promoter says he already has 8,000 people who want to fight the former neighborhood watchman.

Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman, who said he's done 55 celebrity fights with infamous people from Octomom to Michael Lohan, said Zimmerman will fight anyone.

“We are not looking at color," he said. "He just wants to prove he has a passion for boxing."

Edit: I wonder if he'll be packing heat while in the ring.

Just strange.

Guess those boxing skills/MMA skills don't apply in real life situations.

Actually, after some thought and reading some of the tweets, I hope not a single black person fights this dude.

I nominate Gary. Or Darnell.

A staged event where the winner is determined before the match.

That might work. Both can't fight, both pack heat, both love attention. Set it up, we'll work on the odds for betting purposes.

A staged event where the winner is determined before the match.

Which to me makes it all the more puzzling.

I'm well aware of the fix, there's no way he would actually fight someone in the ring.

Perhaps George in a strange way needs to be in the public eye.

I'd like to see a chick kick GZ's #######!

I'm holding out for the Gary vs George scenario. I'd pay money for that one.

[B_J 2,752]

If they did this as an auction, it could raise a huge amount of money. The highest bidder gets to beat the ####### out of GZ. I know some people here who would love to be a part of that.

Problem is there wouldn't be any fight, Gary would shoot George as soon as the bell rang. He's stated many times that he would rather shoot than fight.
