George Zimmerman continues to cause controversy, though significantly less so than when he was found not guilty last year after shooting and killing 17 year-old Trayvon Martin in what he claimed was self-defense. He's reportedly entertaining offers for a "celebrity" boxing match, with rapper DMX the most likely candidate, CNN reported.

Al Sharpeton, among others, is concerned about Zimmerman and his celebrity title. He believes such a fight would ultimately detract from the sensitive incident that commanded the entire country's attention.

"We must be very careful not to glorify or in any way sidestep the implications of making someone whose only claim to fame was killing an unarmed young man named Trayvon Martin into a cultural celebrity or hero," Sharpton said.

Non-Zimmerman fans (of which there are many, including DMX), however, relish the chance of watching him take a beating in the ring. Given the 30 year-old's unimposing demeanor and pudgy build, most believe he will, especially if he faces the more hardened DMX, 43, who's had many more legal issues than Zimmerman and has served time in jail (if that adds anything to one's fighting skills). He also publicly stated to TMZ that, given the chance, he would "beat the (expletive) out of" Zimmerman without regard to the rules of boxing, according to FOX.

To ensure the fight goes against Zimmerman, Ian Karmel, writer on Chelsea lately, tweeted this suggestion.

"They should send Floyd Mayweather to the ring and tell George Zimmerman it's DMX," he wrote. "He won't know the difference."

According to Zimmerman, he'd been working himself back in shape "before the incident," and intends to use a celebrity fight as a way to further his weight loss goals and raise money for charity.

If it happens, which it likely will (and soon) even if it's not with DMX, credit goes to celebrity boxing matchmaker Damon Feldman, owner of the aptly titled company, Celebrity Boxing. After confirming with Zimmerman, his offer of a three round, pay-per-view, bout has generated a significant response.

"The news has been out for an hour and my e-mail is overloaded with 8,000 people wanting to fight George," Feldman told CNN last Thursday.
