George Zimmerman Willing to Fight Anyone — Even Black People — in Celebrity Boxing Match
Would you like to punch George Zimmerman in the face?
At least one person will in a celebrity boxing match set to air March 1 online and by pay per view, reported TMX, with at least some of the proceeds going to charity.
“Boxing isn’t new to me,” Zimmerman told Radar Online. “It’s something I had picked up well before the incident and it’s something that I liked, I enjoyed, and I kept up with it and I was able to lose a tremendous amount of weight and get a healthy lifestyle.”
The “incident” he’s referring to is the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old who Zimmerman suspected of criminal activity and followed in his Florida neighborhood.
Zimmerman was eventually acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the case, which became a focal point for racial tensions.
Prospective challengers are urged to contact promoters by email at fightgeorge@hotmail.com, and promoter Damon Feldman said Zimmerman would be willing to fight a black person.
