Oscar De La Hoya is seeking treatment again for an undisclosed “disease” and has checked himself into a facility to get help. The former boxer got help for his alcoholism in 2011 at the Betty Ford Clinic.
Crave’s BoxingScene.com posted a statement Tuesday from the Golden Boy.
Canelo Alvarez and I have big fights coming up this weekend. His is the ring and mine in treatment.
I will not be at the fight to cheer Canelo to victory since I have voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment facility.
I explained this to Canelo and he understood that my health and longterm recovery from my disease must come first.
Thank you for your understanding. I ask for your support and privacy during this difficult time for me and my family
