Oscar De La Hoya highlights 25th class of the International Boxing Hall of Fame

In addition to 10 titles in six different weight divisions, an Olympic gold medal, and 10 world titles, legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya can add the Boxing Hall of Fame to the rest of his achievements. 

The Golden Boy Promotions founder was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday, capping off an astounding 17-year career. 

"Today marks an incredible personal achievement. But it is only the latest milestone that never would have been possible without my family, my friends, and most of all, my fans," De La Hoya stated via ESPN, per The Associated Press.

De La Hoya retired following his loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2008, ending his career with a 39-6 record, including 30 knockout victories. 

Despite his numerous victories, titles, and accolades, the former top pound-for-pound boxer is well-known for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. 

The 2007 match is one of the most popular and richest in boxing history, resulting in approximately 2.5 million pay-per-view fans. 

Despite his induction to the Hall of Fame, the Golden Boy Promotions founder is focussed on remaining involved in the sport, highlighting the importance of its future. 

"We must put aside the egos that have damaged our brand and sullied our reputation. We, the promoters, must stop carrying petty grudges that serve no purpose but to divide our sport. And most important, we must give the fans the fights that they want." 

De La Hoya highlighted the Hall of Fame's 25th class, which also included Felix "Tito" Trinidad and Joe Calzaghe were also inducted.
