De La Hoya's encouraged by Mike Tyson, considers comeback

Oscar De La Hoya announced that he was seriously considering returning to the professional sports. The former world champion in six weight categories is ready to return to the ring in the middleweight or super middleweight.

47-year-old Golden Boy said that he was inspired by the example of Mike Tyson, who, despite his age, intends to enter the ring once more, and the videos that he uploads on the network impress with his physical form. De La Hoya insists that he has not yet made a final decision on this matter.

The head of the promotion organization Golden Boy Promotions is one of the most popular boxers in the history of professional boxing. His battles featured on Pay-Per-View were bought by nearly 14 million American families.

During his career, De La Hoya won the Olympic gold medal and champion belts in six weight categories. In recent years, the American acts as a promoter. In 2018, de la Hoya announced that he could participate in the U.S. presidential election, but quickly abandoned this idea.
