Oscar De La Hoya: record, next fight and profile →
It’s officially underway. WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia came face-to-face in New York on Tuesday, formally kicking off the road to their April 20 fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Oscar De La Hoya is not optimistic that boxing fans will get to see Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight Jaime Munguia in May.
Who Would Have Won A Clash Between De La Hoya and Canelo?

The Golden Boy Promotions founder questioned Saturday night whether his rival’s company has enough depth on its roster to put together that type of show, even if DAZN executives were willing to provide the funding to stream it. Hearn spoke optimistically about a Golden Boy-Matchroom event earlier during a press conference following a main event one of his boxers, John Ryder, lost to one of De La Hoya’s fighters, Jaime Munguia, by ninth-round technical knockout at Footprint Center in Phoenix.
