Golden Boy ✨
Did you know that Oscar De La Hoya's iconic nickname "The Golden Boy" wasn't just about his Olympic gold medal win at the 1992 Barcelona Games?
It was also a nod to his sunny personality and a heartfelt promise he made to his mom, Cecilia, who sadly passed away from breast cancer in 1990.
This hometown hero from East Los Angeles became a national sensation, and his legendary nickname even inspired the creation of Golden Boy Promotions, his very own boxing promotional company!
