Trayvon Martin, 17, was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood
watch volunteer, in Sanford, Florida, on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman
is now taking part in a 'celebrity boxing match'
'It was my idea,' Zimmerman said in an interview with Radar Online.
'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.
'Boxing isn’t new to me.
'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.'
'So it’s not a new hobby, it’s something I have been doing and wanting to pursue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.'
In a strange coincidence, today would have been Trayvon Martin's 19th birthday.
Zimmerman was found not guilty of all charges levied against him, after he fatally shot the teen during a fight in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, Florida.
The Hispanic man claimed that he had killed Martin with a weapon in an act of self-defence.
George Zimmerman initially set his aim for Kanye West, saying he should take part in a fight because he constantly attacks people.
Zimmerman remained without charge for 44 days after the shooting occurred, which led to nationwide protests and sparked furious debate over racial profiling and the right to use weapons in self-defence.
Further demonstrations broke out after Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013.
Federal authorities are currently reviewing the entire case to decide whether Martin’s civil rights were violated.
Rapper The Game, who has a tattoo of Trayvon Martin on his leg, had previously registered his interest to challenge Zimmerman in a fight.
'I would not be boxing for me,' The Game told TMZ.
'I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.
'I would box him to knock him out.
'I would definitely take pleasure in it.
'It's legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon.'
