Oscar De La Hoya announced his retirement from professional boxing during a press conference this afternoon outside of L.A. Live in downtown.
‘When I can’t compete at my highest level, it’s not fair -- to me, my fans,’ De La Hoya said.
De La Hoya lost two of his last three fights, including a Dec. 6 bout against Manny Pacquiao. The East Los Angeles native posted a 39-6 career record with 30 knockouts.
