If Oscar De La Hoya returns to the boxing ring, he won’t have a shortage of opponents. Several boxers including ‘GGG’ and ‘Spike’ are pressing for a fight against the ‘Golden Boy’.

Oscar De La Hoya retired from boxing in 2008 after losing to Manny Pacquiao. Since then, he has worked as a promoter and has never dusted off his boxing gloves. However, it might be the right time to do so as special exhibition events and comeback fights are making news in the boxing world.

Following Mike Tyson‘s return against Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather also announced his return against Logan Paul. So it made sense when Oscar De La Hoya wanted to make a comeback. Aged 47, De La Hoya already had a back and forth with Gennady Golovkin.

The two spat venom as De La Hoya mocked the middleweight great. While the two were already in a feud, Gary O’ Sulivan entered the tale. The Irish pugilist also offered himself for De La Hoya’s return and appeared confident of bagging the fight.

Spike hunts for Oscar De La Hoya

According to Boxing Scene, ‘Spike’ connected with Sunday Sport and discussed his desire in facing De La Hoya. He didn’t demean the Golden Boy CEO, but tagged it as an easy fight for himself.

“It would be a dream fight. It would be a great fight to get as he is an 11-time world champion, six weight division and an Olympic gold medallist, and I’ve seen that I’m second favourite with the bookies in America to get that fight,” said Spike.

He added, “And it’s a winnable fight because he has been in retirement for 11 years. My coach Paschal Collins has been on to Golden Boy. I think it is a possibility, but I’m not sure it would happen, we’ll see.”

While Gennady Golovkin and Gary O’ Sulivan are still active boxers, De La Hoya isn’t relevant to the ongoing title scenario. So, he can opt for any of those opponents to stage his return. De La Hoya’s return isn’t for the record books, but just a move that can further enrich his legacy.
