Mr. Zimmermans father provided a different account, based on his conversations with his son. He said that George Zimmerman had lost sight of the hooded figure and was beginning to walk back to his vehicle when Trayvon appeared from his rear left side. He also described a conversation that began far differently than the one recalled by the girl on the phone.
He did not see Trayvon until he was right there, he said, at which point, Trayvon, cursing, asked if George Zimmerman had a problem.
And George said, No, I dont have a problem, or No, there is no problem. And Trayvon said, You do now, and he punched George in the nose.
Here even Mr. Zimmerman acknowledges that there is some confusion. He told an Orlando news station that George was reaching for his cellphone when Trayvon punched him. But, in a later interview with The New York Times, he said that he was unsure whether his son made that movement and that he might have conflated news media reports with what he thought his son may have told him.

So Mr. Zimmerman is backing away now from George telling him he backed up to reach for his phone and call police when Martin punched him.
My gut tells me he is backing away from that statement because George carries his cell phone on his belt right by his gun I bet. IMO
I personally think the whole "going for the cell phone" was actually "going for the gun."
