UPDATE:
A rep for /*DMX*/ says the rapper hasn't yet officially signed on to do a celebrity boxing match against /*George Zimmerman*/.
The fight promoter told /*CNN*/ earlier he picked DMX out of a pool of thousands who applied through email to fight Zimmerman.
But a spokesman for DMX says while the rapper has promised -- in more colorful language -- to beat Zimmerman in a bout, no contract has been signed.
According to the rep, "DMX will release an official statement if and when an agreement is made."
Zimmerman, who was acquitted last year of murder in the death of /*Trayvon Martin*/ -- says the celebrity boxing match was his idea.
If DMX signs on, the two are expected to face off for three rounds in a pay-per-view fight.
