Oscar de la Foia proves that his return to the ring is serious

The intentions of Oscar de la Foia to make a fight even in the display mode are serious.

The multiple champion and, in turn, a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, posted on social media a short video making, apparently, a training session for a potential return.

De la Hoya, 48, announced that his plans are to return to boxing on July 3 as part of the Triller Fight Club event through the ‘pay per view’ service. announced.

De la Hoya has not fought since 2008 when he lost to Filipino Manny Pacquiao by technical knockout.

“This is getting real,” De la Hoya wrote on his Instagram account. “Three months are left and you already feel the beast way. In the next 30 days I will focus on speed and (go down) to 158 pounds, then I will start light gloves to get in rhythm with the blows and the last three weeks I will prepare for a war. I will show the world that age is just a damn number”.

De la Foia is one of a handful of exboxers who have seen an opportunity after several years of inactivity. The first were Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., who fought in an exhibition last November.

Marc Antoni Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Márquez, Miguel Cotto, Julio César Chánez and Héctor “Machito” Camacho Jr are others who have followed the formula.
