In a recent escalation of their long-standing feud, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya exchanged legal threats. The conflict stems from past issues including a lawsuit, financial disputes, and a divisive split from De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. Addressing the issue publicly at various platforms last Wednesday, both parties have made it clear that reconciliation is not on the table.
Oscar De La Hoya planned a return to the ring a few years ago, and now he's worried about Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) having an official, sanctioned fight at age 58. Ironman's opponent on July 20 in Arlington will be Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs).
In a recent verbal exchange laden with humor, Eddie Hearn jested about obtaining a restraining order against fellow promoter Oscar De La Hoya. This comment unfolded on April 28th, 2024, as tensions mounted due to their competing promotional efforts and remarks geared towards each other in public forums. The jest came after De La Hoya's recurring critical comments on Hearn's operations in the United States.
Oscar de la Hoya, promoter of American boxer Ryan Garcia, said that in the fight against Devin Haney his boxer surprised him most of all with his will to win.
"I think what surprised me the most was Garcia's will to win. Haney is no joke. I watched Haney throw bombs. I've never seen him throw bombs in my life. We thought he was going to come out and combine and throw punches. It's working for him, he's a great boxer. Ryan Garcia won by withstanding the power and pressure of Haney. I'm proud of Ryan.
After the first knockdown, Haney went down, and physically it can wear you down too. Psychologically it discourages you and you can get tired. That's what happened. Ryan's a big guy. How much did Haney weigh? 140 pounds at the weigh-in, maybe 160 in the fight. So we had two big guys in the ring. But the difference is that Ryan Garcia is a puncher," said de la Hoya.
Recall that Garcia defeated Haney by majority decision of the judges, sending him to knockdown three times.
During an appearance on "The MMA Hour" with Ariel Helwani, Oscar De La Hoya promised a forthright and aggressive stance against Canelo Alvarez in the upcoming fight week of Jaime Munguia. He intends to confront Alvarez vigorously during promotional events, according to his statements on the show.
Oscar De La Hoya's record currently stands at 39 wins, 6 loses and 0 draw.
Oscar De La Hoya's last fight took place against Manny Pacquiao on Dec. 6, 2008, in Las Vegas, USA. He lost by RTD in the 8 round. That fight was 4 months and 27 days ago.
Hoya's last 3 fights have come over a period of 1 year, 7 months and 1 day, meaning he has been fighting on average every 6 months and 10 days. In those fights, he fought a total of 32 rounds, meaning that they have lasted 10 rounds on average.
Hoya was born in USA.
The Oscar De La Hoya is currently 51 years old. He was born on Feb. 4, 1973, so he will turn 52 in 9 months and 1 day.
