You’d think rapper DMX and George Zimmerman would each have had their fill of negative press for a lifetime, the former for his multiple arrests for DUI, drug possession and speeding, and the latter for shooting and killing teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012.

And yet, the men are close to signing a contract to fight each other in a match set up by Celebrity Boxing. According to CNN, a DMX spokesman says DMX “has promised to ‘beat (Zimmerman’s) a**,’ and urinate on Zimmerman in a fight that was apparently 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,” he told Radar Online.

Zimmerman reportedly turned down thousands of offers to fight, including one from rapper The Game, who has a tattoo of Martin. He initially wanted to fight Yeezus himself, but Kanye’s people never got back to him. [ed. – Yeezus is Kanye West’s sixth studio album]

Not everyone is as excited about the fight as Zimmerman and DMX appear to be. Rev. Al Sharpton said the fight sets a dangerous precedent, and a Change.org petition was launched calling for the fight to be cancelled.
