JAKARTA - Oscar De La Hoya admits that he was raped as a child. This he revealed when speaking to the Los Angeles Times

The Golden Boy - nicknamed De La Hoya - is back from retirement and is scheduled to take on Victor Belfort on September 11. However, the plan failed to materialize after he was declared exposed to COVID-19.

In a video posted on Twitter, De La Hoya said that he is now being treated in hospital despite receiving a COVID-19 vaccination.

Wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend. Preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, & I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support. pic.twitter.com/0wKEnr5Jzv

Before testing positive for COVID-19, De La Hoya spoke to the Los Angeles Times. He reveals his past.

"I was raped at the age of 13, from a woman, an older woman," De La Hoya said.

"I was 13 years old and I lost my virginity because, you know, being raped, basically."

"I was in Hawaii, I think, in some tournaments. She was over 35."

De La Hoya, a former six-weight world champion, is currently in a relationship with golf presenter Holly Sonders.

Sonders was previously engaged to 'Vegas Dave', the self-proclaimed greatest sports gambler of all time. However, their engagement foundered last year.

De La Hoya met Sonder for the first time when this woman who loves to pose sexy underwater served as a presenter at one of De La Hoya's boxing events.

They hit it off right away and have since been caught on TMZ cameras in Nobu, and previously spotted at the Pebble Beach golf course.
