DMX’s career as a boxer has ended before it even began, as the rapper has pulled out of an upcoming boxing match, sources have told AllHipHop.com.



DMX was scheduled to square off against New Mexico based fighter Eric Martinez on December 12 in Alabama, during an event sponsored by Thunder Promotions.



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



Sources stated that Thunder Promotions may pursue legal action against DMX.



In the meantime, a variety of popular rappers have been contacted to stand up to Eric Martinez during the fight.



A replacement for DMX will be announced as early as next week.



In late October, DMX called into Washington’s 106.7 to talk about the bout.



He stated that he had no plans to train for the fight and appeared to take the challenge against Martinez lightly.



"I’m a just walk in as is. It wouldn’t be fair if I trained,” DMX said and later said: "I aint trying to have my face all messed up."

Lol, easy homie :lol1: Personly I don't see X in no MMA/Boxing. X should get himself straight. Pick his battles, not battling foes in the ring, rather the foe in his addiction..

honestly, DMX should have never signed up for this in the first place. he dont need to be taking risks like that as a rapper.

didnt think it would happen.

i hope dmx is ok and turns his life around

Rapper DMX is the subject of a new $1 million dollar lawsuit for backing out of a celebrity boxing match scheduled to take place in December in Birmingham, Alabama.



DMX was originally scheduled to fight boxer/actor Eric Martinez during an event titled “Alabama Pride,” promoted by Thunder Promotions.



The rapper was scheduled to box Martinez for three rounds but backed out of the fight when Thunder Promotions allegedly refused to fix the fight or guarantee DMX's safety.

DMX’s abrupt cancellation left promoters scurrying to find a replacement.



Shortly after it was announced that DMX would be pulling out of the fight, Thunder Promotions signed up rapper Coolio to face off against Martinez in the ring on December 12th.



According to Coolio, he has no plans to fix the fight or to even lose the contest.



“I've been doing martial arts for 18 years...somebody [is] gonna get knocked the f**k out,” Coolio exclaimed to radio host Angela Yee during an interview last week. “Coolio don't take a** whoopin’s well. I'll tell you what, if I get into trouble, you gonna know because it's gonna go from boxing to f**king wrestling and choking because I hate to lose.”



Thunder Promotions filed the $1 million dollar lawsuit against DMX in Birmingham County Court on Friday (November 20th).



Thunder Promotions claims DMX's cancellation has caused them hundreds and thousands of dollars and damages.



The lawsuit is the latest financial set back for DMX, who also owes $1.5 million in back taxes to the IRS.
