Boxing: De La Hoya Tune-Up Set For May 3rd Against Forbes

by Kris on February 21st, 2008

Oscar De La Hoya will square off with Steve Forbes on May 3rd at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California.

The fight will serve as a tune-up for De La Hoya ahead of a September rematch with Floyd Mayweather and is also the first of his final three fights.

De La Hoya is a six-time world titleist as well as a gold medal winner for the US at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. His record currently stands at 38-5 with 30 knockouts. His amateur record was 223-5.

Forbes too is a former title-holder, previously holding the IBF and USBA super featherweight titles. He is well-known for his appearance of season 2 of “The Contender” making it to the finals before losing to Grady Brewer.
