Why can't this guy just shut up and sit down? He wants to become a "celebrity" boxer now? If this is really true, I hope somebody knocks some sense in him. George Zimmerman Wants to Fight Kanye West | News | BET

Now if Kanye West doesn't take Zimmerman up on this challenge he may lose some street cred. Seems like all the anti-gun celebs were all for killing Zimmerman when the whole Trayvon Marin thing was in the headlines.

I think, for some perverse reason, George likes being in the limelight.

http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/05/r...f-george-zimmerman-in-celebrity-boxing-match/George Zimmerman’s opponent in an upcoming celebrity boxing match says he will beat the former neighborhood watchman to a pulp, and much more.

“I am going to beat the living f**k out him,” rapper DMX told TMZ. “I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f**k him right up.”

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, also told TMZ that he would urinate on Zimmerman after defeating him in the ring.

“Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my d**k out and piss on him,” said DMX, who is known for his aggressive rap style.

George Zimmerman's latest attempt to bring in some cash has failed. A celebrity fight pitting Zimmerman against rapper DMX has been canceled.

Zimmerman, famous for killing Florida teen Trayvon Martin during a 2012 altercation but cleared on murder charges, has been casting about for a while trying to find ways to make himself salable and his latest idea was to agree to celebrity boxing matches. But even after this first match was set up, it was abruptly canceled.

Boxing promoter Damon Feldman made several attempts to explain why he canceled the event on Twitter, but his Tweets are not very clear as to the promoter's reasoning.
In one Tweet, Feldman said that someone was the "wrong person to put in the ring and define celebrity boxing," but it wasn't clear if he was talking about Zimmerman or rapper DMX.

In another Tweet the promoter wrote, "I walked away from a million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I'd rather be happy and make people happy thank you."

There seems to be some doubt, though, if rapper DMX actually agreed to the boxing match in the first place.

In some reports DMX's agent said that the rapper never officially accepted the fight.
