In a Bizarre Move, Jermall Charlo Calls Out 49-Year-Old Oscar De La Hoya for a Fight

It has been fourteen years since Oscar De La Hoya retired from professional boxing. At the time of his retirement, De La Hoya was 35 and had a record of 39 wins and 6 losses. De La Hoya, having retired as a competing athlete from the sport, focused solely on Golden Boy Promotions and so far has had quite a lucrative career as a promoter in boxing. De La Hoya is 49 and is currently looking forward to collaborating with Floyd Mayweather at a future event.

The current number one junior middleweight ranking boxer, Jermall Charlo, recently announced a list of boxers he would like to face soon. The individuals that he mentioned included the likes of Demetrius Andrade, David Benavidez, Chris Eubank Jr., and, surprisingly, the CEO and chairman of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya.

The astounding list of opponents by Jermall Charlo includes 49-year-old Oscar De La Hoya

Jermall Charlo is 32 years old and is the former WBC middleweight and IBF light middleweight title holder. Jermall Charlo and De La Hoya share seventeen years of age difference. A fight at this stage between Charlo and De la Hoya would not only mean ridiculous, but also highly unfair.

As reported by Michael Benson, Jermall Charlo said, “I want to fight Demetrius Andrade next. So y’all need to stop talking s***. I wanna fight him next… I wanna fight Oscar De La Hoya, David Benavidez, Demetrius Andrade and Chris Eubank.”

Prior to calling out Oscar De La Hoya, Jermall Charlo expressed his willingness to square off with the one and only Gennady Golovkin. In his opinion, Golovkin was simply wasting his time by fighting Canelo Alvarez for the third time in his pro career. Just when fans could smell the fragrance of a potential Golovkin vs Charlo fight, Charlo announced his list of other names.

Looks like Jermall Charlo needs some time to figure out who is it he wants to fight. Because certainly, a bout with Oscar De La Hoya is far from happening at this moment.
