The Golden Boy. Oscar De La Hoya’s fans and critics alike have seen the East Los Angeles native’s story materialize from a promise made to his late mother as an amateur to his crossover success as a mainstream world champion on the world’s biggest stage all the way to his impact as a promoter following his fight days.
As an amateur standout, Oscar proudly represented the USA in the 1992 Olympics and won the gold medal fighting at Lightweight. He then turned pro later that year and started what would turn out to be a historic career. Having claimed multiple world titles in different weight classes, De La Hoya ascended to boxing stardom after defeating Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez. He would go on to make memorable matchups with the likes of Pernell Whitaker, Hector Camacho, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Arturo Gatti, Fernando Vargas, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
In 2002, in the height of his career, Oscar made the unprecedented move to leave hall of fame promoter Bob Arum and Top Rank to start his own promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions. The decision would later serve as the inspiration for other marquee fighters to go independent launching their own companies. In 2010, Golden Boy would sign a young prospect out of Mexico, Canelo Alvarez, who would eventually carry the torch that Oscar helped light the way for Golden Boy.
