Oscar De La Hoya, 47, confirms boxing comeback

The 47-year-old De La Hoya told ESPN on Wednesday that he plans to come out of retirement.

De La Hoya is nearly 12 years removed from his last fight against Manny Pacquiao, one in which he quit on his stool after the eighth round in December 2008. De La Hoya announced his retirement a few months later, but now insists he is ready for a return.

“The rumors are true, and I’m going to start sparring in the next few weeks,” De La Hoya told ESPN.

No opponent has been determined and no date has officially been set for The Golden Boy’s return. He said the plan is to compete between 154-160 pounds
