I remember Oscar De La Hoya did an interview and said he used to believe this but then had sex the night before the Vargas fight and had the best night of his career.

It's actually quite old and the full history would take some time. Most of you don't like to read so much so I'll try to do this in brief.
Theagenes of Thasos became champion around 480 BC. Theo did loads of really cool stuff that you should read into, but, the only thing important to this story is he was the unified boxing, wrestling, and pankration or ancient mma champion.
Fast forward to Kleitomachos of Thebes in 212 BC. Kleito succeeded in his lifelong goal of becoming a downing champion like Theo. When Kleito unified the boxing, wrestling, and pankration he went "dustless" which meant at no point was he ever on his back or suffered a fall. When asked how Kleito would tell them he reserved his power by not engaging in any form of sexual activity.
Have you ever wondered why we call some old or ancient sports boxing while others are just fist fighting sports with no connection to boxing? It's because of cultural and historical connections. Man has punched Man in the face forever, not all of it is boxing. Stories like Kleito's is what connects Queensberry or Unified I suppose would be more correct to Pygmachia. Judges to Hellano***ai. The Fancy to the fans.
