Boxing star Oscar De La Hoya will miss his scheduled comeback next weekend after being hospitalized by COVID-19. “Despite being fully vaccinated, I have hired Covid and I will not be able to fight next weekend,” he said he tweeted Friday. “Preparing for this return has been all for me over the last few months and I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support.” De La Hoya was scheduled to fight boxer Vitor Belfort in Los Angeles on September 11, marking his return to the ring after 13 years. After a successful 16-year career, his last fight was in December 2008 with a loss to Manny Pacquiao. “I am currently in the hospital receiving treatment and I am sure I will return to the ring before the end of the year,” he wrote. “God bless everyone and be safe.”
