DMX Vs George Zimmerman In Celebrity Boxing Match? Rapper Promises To ‘F**K Him Up’ If He Gets Chance

DMX vs. George Zimmerman is on like Donkey Kong! According to TMZ, the celebrity boxing match between rapper DMX and notorious gun-slinging Zimmerman is going ahead, most likely in March. Folllowing the news that Zimmerman was up for a fight, celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman was innundated with requests: "The news has been out for an hour and my e-mail is overloaded with 8,000 people wanting to fight George," said Feldman to CNN. He picked DMX out of 15,000 applicants.

George Zimmerman, meanwhile, says that the fight is part of his "weight loss goals" and not an attempt to further his position as persona non grata. "Prior to the incident, I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss," he told Radar. "A mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out."

DMX, however, has made it clear he is just out to beat Zimmerman to a pulp. "DMX has promised to 'beat his ass,' but no contract or paperwork has been signed or agreed to yet," DMX spokesman Domenick Nati told CNN on Wednesday. DMX himself was a little less subtle about his intentions: "I am going to beat the living f**k out him," he told TMZ. "I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f**k him right up." He then said he'd literally piss on George's face.
