According to the Los Angeles Times, Oscar De La Hoya has scheduled a news conference for April 14 at the Star Plaza downtown in California, where the former six division champion plans to make an announcement regarding his future in the sport. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer refused to discuss the details of the announcement with the paper.
Since last December's one-sided beating at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, De La Hoya has been torn between retirement and staging one more fight. A source told the paper that Oscar's announcement will not have anything to do with a possible opponent or a return to the ring - leading most to speculate that De La Hoya will officially announce his retirement.
