According to Radar Online, rappers The Game and DMX and Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael are eager to step in the ring and fight George Zimmerman in a celebrity boxing match.
Celebrity boxing founder Damon Feldman told the site that DMX, The Game and Michael Lohan are only three out of thousands of people who expressed an interest in being a part of the event. Feldman said he's already received over 5,000 emails from celebrities and non-famous people. The majority of the people who want to box with Zimmerman said they would do it as "justice for Trayvon [Martin]."
Zimmerman, 30, was acquitted last year in Florida of manslaughter and second-degree murder of 17-year-old Martin.
"It would be my honor to get in the ring with him," Vincent Edwards told Radar. "I'm 46-years-old, in the best shape of my life. I'm 6'2, 300 pounds and from Arkansas."
"Enough is enough, he killed that young man. I want to fight him not for what he did to Trayvon, it's because he's got a big mouth and I'm the man to shut it completely," he continued.
According to Radar the idea for the boxing match was Zimmerman's idea.
"Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss and 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," he said.
He didn't reveal how much money he's getting for the fight but told the site that the money would be donated to a charity that rescues animals. Zimmerman didn't reveal which specific organization he had chosen out of fear that they would receive negative criticism.
"I'd love to tell you [the charity] but unfortunately there's so much animosity still from people out there, that if I name the charity now they would get bombarded with negativity, so I'd rather not say," he said.
