Oscar De La Hoya claimed to be at peace with himself, on his tell-all documentary about his life on HBO. However, he doesn’t seem to be seeking peace with his former pugilist, Ryan Garcia. They’re going toe-to-toe against each other in legal warfare. De La Hoya sued Garcia for not honoring their contract. While Garcia sought to find an exit clause in their contract. The whole fiasco started when Garcia felt that after his fight with Gervonta Davis, his promoter had abandoned him amidst a post-fight press conference.
De La Hoya believes they have years left in the contract. So Garcia cannot leave him as it’d be a financial setback for The Golden Boy Promotions. Amid all this drama, there seems to be a “standstill” as of now. De La Hoya has posted a recent picture from a modeling gig. ‘Golden Boy’ was seen rocking a blue suit, and a lot of fans praised the former boxing champion.
