Retired boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya has entered a California rehab facility to be treated for a substance abuse problem, TMZ reported Saturday.
Sources told TMZ that De La Hoya checked into the rehab facility within the last few weeks. The name and location of the facility and the nature of his substance abuse problem were not immediately known.
The 1992 Olympic Gold Medal winner has been active on Twitter in recent weeks.
On Friday, De La Hoya wrote, “Take a deep breathe and let out all that anger that makes you hate.it really is going to be o.k.” and “Stop finding excuses not to live. life is controlled by what you make of it and not of what it makes of you.”
De La Hoya had a career record of 39-6 and held several championship belts before retiring in 2009.
He hasn’t been mentioned in awhile. I guess he misses the #SpotLight 🙂
Dude is a great human being. A lot of people don’t like him, but he’s done a WHOLE lot more for his community and for the country than Glitter Monkey Mayweather. Oscar just doesn’t need the media to promote his philanthropy.
