“I am happy with the news that Oscar de la Hoya has retired from boxing and will now continue as a professional boxing promoter, where he has done so well, and we’re sure he will continue his success”.
“Oscar has been one of the most successful boxers of all time, and fought the best of his time. He won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, and showed with pride the flag of the United States as well as the flag of Mexico”.
“I am personally happy for his decision. Oscar has a very nice family and a good business to take care of, instead of continuing to risk his health in the ring. He had nothing else to prove in his brilliant career”.
“Oscar and the WBC formed a great couple during his prime, when he became one of the greatest WBC champions of all time. On behalf of the WBC, I would like to extend our heartiest congratulations not only for his wise decision, but also for having been one of the absolute greatest fighters of the WBC and boxing”.
“We have always been very proud of Oscar and the four WBC world championships he won in different divisions that opened the doors for the world idolatry that he won during his professional boxing career”.
From the office of WBC President, Jose Sulaiman.
