DMX will become the latest emcee to enter the boxing world when he faces actor Eric Martinez this December.
In a recent interview on Washington D.C.'s 106.7 The Fan radio show, DMX (Earl Simmons) explained the origins of the fight and why he felt it wasn't necessary to train for the contest.
"We got a phone call, you know, asking if I wanted to participate in it. Yeah, why not?" DMX stated. "I used to participate in...oh, nevermind. But yeah, I figured I could do it. I'm just going to walk in as it is, you know what I mean? It wouldn't be fair if I trained."
In a sport which suffers fatalities every year from head trauma, DMX was surprisingly unconcerned about fighting in Alabama, a state that has no organized athletic commission.
"I can fight for real though, so it is what it is," X maintained.
