This makes me sick to my stomach. To me, this just confirms that he was the aggressor against Trayvon Martin.

"Boxing isn't new to me," Zimmerman told Radar Online in an article posted on the celebrity news outlet's website last week.
Zimmerman began boxing long before the February 2012 incident with 17-year-old Martin that drew national attention, he told Radar Online. The case polarized the nation around issues of racial justice, self defense and gun control.
Zimmerman's plans to enter the ring come after he successfully capitalized on his celebrity in December by auctioning a flag painting on eBay, selling the artwork for just over $100,000.
Some of the proceeds from the event would go to an animal rescue charity, Zimmerman told Radar Online, but he declined to name the organization.

However, Zimmerman has a cult following that have created a personality of sorts that only emboldens these stunts.

All of them.
Zimmerman defenders were and are assholes to a person.
