It’s currently being reported that best-selling rap artist DMX will be making his fighting debut against a man by the name of Eric Martinez.
Thunder Promotions recently announced the bout between the two, along with a headlining bout between Tank Abbott and Butterbean, for an event titled “Alabama Pride” set for December 12 from Birmingham, Alabama.
DMX, real name Earl Simmons, is the fifth best-selling rapper in the history of the genre, selling over 30-million units during his time in the industry.
Little is known about his opponent Eric Martinez, but 5 Oz. has been able to confirm that he is a CEO of Powermoves Entertainment, and has done business with DMX in the past.
While this card seems to be far from official, FiveOuncesOfPain.com is actively trying to confirm or deny reports of DMX’s participation in the event.
