The controversial fight's promoter says he has called it off because of the backlash and threats he has received.

A celebrity boxing match between rapper DMX and George Zimmerman, the man cleared of shooting dead an unarmed teenager, has been cancelled.

Damon Feldman, who has organised a number of fights between stars, said the bout was called off after it provoked a wave of criticism and led to threats being made against him.

The announcement of the fight was made on what would have been victim Trayvon Martin's 19th birthday.

A "Cancel George Zimmerman's 'Celebrity' Boxing match" Facebook page received 317,000 likes and civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton warned against glorifying Zimmerman.
