Ten time world champion in six weight divisions and future boxing hall of famer, “Golden Boy” Oscar de la Hoya announced his retirement at a press conference moments ago in Los Angeles. Oscar stated “it’s over inside the ring for me,” he said. “I’m announcing my retirement….when I can’t compete at my highest level, it’s not fair to me or my fans.” The ultra-popular 36-year-old ends with a record of 39-6, 30 KOs, and is the highest grossing fighter in boxing history. His fight against Floyd Mayweather is the highest grossing boxing match of all time.

Give him 6 months. The first athlete retirement is always just vacation.

Yeah he has. That he has other ventures to make his money on. I still think it might be one of those ghost retirements though.
