Just when you thought the bout between DMX and George Zimmerman was actually called off, Damon Feldman, the promoter behind the "celebrity "boxing match, is eating his words. According to an interview with The Source, he is recanting tweets he sent canceling the match, blaming them on his own emotions. 

“I sent those tweets because I went through an emotional situation. I looked at my kids and I got emotional. I didn’t sleep for three days because I’m trying to figure out how this thing happened. As of right now, the fight is not canceled," he said.

Apparently, this fight has taken its toll on Feldman but he feels that if he doesn't hold it, someone else will. "This is a life altering thing for me career wise. If I didn’t do this and I did call it off, who’s gonna take care of my kids and family? If I couldn’t do this, who’s gonna put food on my table? I understand the blood money thing, but if I don’t do this, someone else will.”

According to Feldman's Twitter, he's holding a press conference tomorrow at 2:00PM to address everything.
