During this video interview with Marcos Villegas of Fight Hub TV, Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya talks about his plans to return to boxing in September and where he’s looking to go from there. De La Hoya talks about the first of three fights he’s planning to have and says his endgame could be fighting the best in the world at that time. Check out some excerpts of what De La Hoya had to say below.
De La Hoya on why he’s choosing to make a comeback to boxing
“It’s love for the sport, basically. I love boxing, I love what I did and I love what I’m doing now. And more importantly I’m doing it for myself, that’s the whole motivation for myself. It’s a different psyche, it’s different, and I don’t think anybody will understand it. There might be one fighter out there that maybe can understand it and his name is Mike Tyson. I’m just believing that I need to do this for myself.
