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.

Celebrity? It is amazing how a killer and woman abuser has become a celebrity!!!! Had he killed anyone else other than a black guy he would be nowhere on anyone's radar.

Want to prove his boxing skills? That's easy! He freaking has none or he would not have had to kill someone once he received a beat down.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Rick Ross is the obvious choice. Let Zimmerman decide if he really does want it.

Kimbo Slice.

When did he abuse women?

Kimbo Slice.

That was my second choice since they're both Floridians. But, Rick called him out publicly so I think he should get first dibs.

Of course not! This is madness! He was not a football player and he did not play in Naked Gun and a half. How could you make such claims?

The dude has had 500 domestic abuse calls on him. I know you got google.

Beyond the 2012 Martin shooting, Zimmerman has had other encounters with the law, including two incidents in 2005, and five incidents in 2013.^[26]

In July of 2005, when he was 21, Zimmerman was arrested after shoving an undercover alcohol-control agent while a friend of Zimmerman's was being arrested for underage drinking. The officer alleged that Zimmerman had said, "I don't care who you are," followed by a profanity, and had refused to leave the area after the officer had shown their badge.^[27] The charges were subsequently dropped when Zimmerman entered a pre-trial diversion program that included anger-management classes.^[3][28]Also in 2005, Zimmerman's ex-fiancée filed a restraining order against him, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman requested a reciprocal restraining order. Both orders were granted.^[3][29] These incidents were raised by prosecutors at Zimmerman's initial bond hearing. The judge described them as "run of the mill."^[30][31]

On September 9, 2013, in Lake Mary, Florida, police responded to a 911 call by Zimmerman's estranged wife, who reported that Zimmerman had threatened her and her father with a gun and had punched her father in the face. Zimmerman was briefly detained and questioned by police.^[32] No gun was found at the scene. Police took a broken iPad from the scene for examination of a video recording of the incident to determine whether to press charges against either Zimmerman or his wife.^[33] His wife declined to press charges and said that she had not actually seen a gun but had assumed Zimmerman had had a gun from his stance and the way he was putting his hand in his shirt. She said, in a subsequent interview on the Today show, "In hindsight I should've [pressed charges], and I really regret that, but I'm on probation and the officers made it very clear that day if I pressed charges we were all going to go to jail and I would've been the only one to stay there."^[34] After determining that the iPad video could not be recovered, the Lake Mary police department announced they would not be pressing charges against Zimmerman, his wife, or her father.^[35]

On November 18, 2013, Zimmerman's girlfriend called the police alleging that after she had asked Zimmerman to leave her home, he had pointed a shotgun at her and begun breaking her belongings.^[36] When the police arrived on the scene and met her outside, Zimmerman initially would not let them inside or speak with them and instead called 911 himself, saying that he had nothing to say to the police and just wanted "everyone to know the truth".^[37][38] The police subsequently reported that Zimmerman had barricaded himself inside the apartment before they had made their way inside and arrested him.^[39] He was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon – a felony – as well as domestic violence battery and criminal mischief.^[38][40]Zimmerman was initially represented by Seminole County public defenders, who said that he was indigent with about $2.5 million in debt,^[41][42] but he subsequently retained the services of Jayne Weintraub, a south Florida attorney who had done legal commentary on cable television.^[43] On December 6, Zimmerman's girlfriend said in an affidavit filed with the court by Zimmerman's attorney that she believed the police had misinterpreted her and that she may have misstated certain facts when she had earlier called the police to report Zimmerman.^[44] She asked that the charges against Zimmerman be dropped and that the restraining order barring him from seeing her be lifted, after which prosecutors said that they would no longer be pursuing a case against him.^[45]

Dude had issues way before he met Trayvon.

and TM had issues way before he met GZ. Perfect storm, including school suspensions, violence, burglary, vandalism and drug use.. You can't punch people in the nose after calling them racial slurs, I don't care if you think they are following you are not. If the situation had been reversed and some white kid had told his girlfriend, some "N word" is following me, and then proceeded to beat his face in, I have no doubt you would feel the same way

No one said TM was a saint. It's folks who completely ignored GZ's history with violence that irk me. This man is now a celebrity because he killed a teenager in a confrontation he started.

The problem is, he was following him. Not if, he was. Not only that, but here day in and out we hear about the use of a gun to protect someone. I've heard so many folks, including you, say they'd blow someone away if they even THOUGHT they were in the slightest bit of danger. Yet, in this case, every single bit of restraint is used, by your account, TM should have just stopped and said hello, can I get you some tea?

If a grown man is following a teenager at night, who doesn't identify himself, who doesn't let his intentions be known, that teenager has EVERY right to be afraid for his life, or fight for it. Was TM supposed to wait until GZ made a move? At what point did GZ even try to defuse the situation? When he went reaching for his cell phone, did TM know that? All he knew was some grown man was chasing him at night. We've said it before, you guys that defend GZ are changing the very rule that you swear by, on the account it was TM.

He was so scared he doubled back, when he was close to his house, came out of the dark and attacked him.Yup sounds like TM was scared to death ROFL.

As for defending GZ, I don't have to. He was found not guilty.

I know your comprehension skills are lacking, let's try this again.

that teenager has EVERY right to be afraid for his life, or fight for it.

And GZ was so scared for his life, he got out of his car and chased the guy that was going to kill him. That makes perfect sense.
