DMX Reportedly Backs Out Of Boxing Match

by MrWhiteFolks on November 6th, 2009

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1869/1935/29072/asset.jpegNew York rapper DMX has reportedly backed out of his boxing match that was scheduled for December 12th against fighter Eric Martinez.

One source told AllHipHop that "DMX pulled out of the fight because his safety could not be guaranteed, while another source claimed that X backed out because Thunder Promotions refused his request to "fix" the fight."

The match was scheduled to take place at Alabama Pride in Birmingham, Alabama before the headlining fight between Butterbean and Tank Abbott.

AHH also reported that Thunder Promotions, who are the event sponsor might be pursuing legal action against DMX, and that they are currently in search of another rapper to replace him in the boxing ring, and  should have a replacement announced as early as next week.

There has been no comment from DMX at this time.

he woulda got his ass beat.. being “hard” and from the streets is one thing.. but fighting for a living is completely different. and for everyone saying 50 should step into the ring.. there is such thing as weight classes.. there is no way 170 lb (maybe less, coming out of jail and being on crack) dmx and 220 lb 50 cent would be scheduled to fighting the same dude.
they will get a local no name dude who happens to rap to be there “rapper”

“they are currently in search of another rapper to replace him in the boxing ring”
Good luck with that.

Honestly I’m not too surprised he backed out. The dude is a professional boxer, X probably would have lost. It would have been fun to watch regardless though.

Dmx is like 5’6 he would of had his ass beat within a couple rounds.. You know his girl was like “Baby you know you can fight” Dmx probably was like "I know “I was hoping my voice would be enough to make him quit, who wanna fight a 5’6 man who sound like a 7’9 350 pound nigga??” arrf arrf its a rough riders road..

yall cats are funny as hell! lol! What makes you think x gives a fuk about losing UR respect? The dude realized that he was in over his head and backed down. Is he supposed to get his ass kicked for YOU? hahhah!! come on man. Its always the ones talking that nonsense that wouldnt even THINK about stepping in the ring with a superior opponent! Its real easy to be a world class boxer from ur keyboard. Reality is a bit different tho’.

I feel you moody, but I think it’s more of the fact that he even attempted to put himself out there like that in the first place. Cuz he let either his ego or the drugs tell him he coudl win and ultijmately bitched up in the moment of truth. That right there, doesn’t garner any respect.smh
It’s almost as bad as the shit talkin kid in the class who everybody thinks can fight cuz he tals so much shit but when someone who ain’t bout all that checks him,all of a sudden he’s apologizing. It’s kinda like that.

@WRONG IDEA…i still say that everyone has a right to a moment of clarity! Sometimes, we get caught up in hype and write checks that we cant cash. We have all done it, so i cant bomb on x for it. I cant lose respect for a groundbreaking artist because he backed out of a fight. I like x for his music, not his boxing skills. You did mention something very funny(and true) we dont know if was his ego or the drugs! hahah!! thats some real shit, my dude!!! respect and peace to you!!
