No De La Hoya return

OSCAR De La Hoya will not come out of retirement to fight again at age 42, the 1992 Olympic lightweight champion saying on Monday on his Facebook page that he has hung up the gloves for good.

It was only a week ago when De La Hoya told ESPN he was 50-50 on the prospects of returning to the ring, and trying to talk up fights against Floyd Mayweather or Gennady Golovkin. “As a professional athlete and someone who has spent almost his entire life in boxing, not a day goes by when I don’t think about coming back,” De La Hoya said. “But I am retired, and after speaking to my family and following a great deal of introspection, I have decided to stay retired.”
