Oscar De La Hoya is no stranger to shocking the public but this time, it has nothing to do with boxing gloves or verbal jabs. The former world champion recently posted a video that has left fans in disbelief, not because of who he fought, but because of how he looks. In the clip, De La Hoya appears completely unrecognizable, his face partially obscured by what looks like a sci-fi mask under an intense blue glow. It’s a far cry from the golden boy of the ring, and fans can’t stop asking: what on Earth is going on?
With an oxygen mask strapped to his face, surrounded by cold lights and shadows. The image is strange, even futuristic, something between a high tech lab and a movie set. It doesn’t take long before his social media followers begin to speculate. In the past, punches shaped his face. Now he’s doing everything he can to ‘win the beauty contest’ among former boxers.
Just when curiosity reaches its peak, Oscar chimes in with a message that only deepens the mystery. “These lasers only making me younger and cuter… sorry fellas,” he jokes, before adding: “Sexy papichulo by next week.” He says a transformation is coming, and he promises to share the before-and-after. But what exactly is he doing to himself?
The Golden Boy’s transformation stirs debate
Before diving into the details, it’s important to remember how far De La Hoya has come not just inside the ring, but far beyond it. Once one of the most feared boxers in the world, he’s gradually traded punches for public appearances and Instagram posts. And while he remains active as a boxing promoter, his recent appearances focused more on beauty than brawls have taken him further and further from the image that once defined him in the sport.
He’s also no stranger to drama. In recent years, De La Hoya has had a rocky and very public falling out with Canelo Álvarez, one of the biggest names he once promoted. Their feud spilled into the media, with sharp words and accusations exchanged on both sides. He’s also clashed with rising star Ryan Garcia, leading to lawsuits and major headlines.
The bizarre video showed him undergoing a CO2 laser facial treatment, followed by time in a hyperbaric chamber. It’s a ‘futuristic’ combo designed to refresh the skin, promote healing, and yes make you look years younger. “It’s freaking crazy how you can turn the clock back inside and out,” he wrote. “Obviously it takes money, but when you have it, why not?”
De La Hoya continues to tease the full transformation and proudly flaunts his beauty treatments. There’s no doubt that times change, and time changes people. He knows how to draw attention, or at the very least, tries to stay in the headlines whatever it takes.

Shedeur Sanders selected by Browns in NFL Draft: ‘Thankful for the opportunity for people to actually see the real me’
Shedeur Sanders finally found an NFL home.After a winding evaluation process that cast him as one of the NFL draft’s biggest mysteries — and following a huge slide that saw him bypassed by multiple QB-needy franchises — the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was chosen in Saturday’s fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Taken No. 144 overall, the pick comes following a draft slide that stunned even some of his most critical talent evaluators in the league.Sanders jumped into a pool with his socks on in celebration:"We live by our board," Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media after the pick. "We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft. Really the acquisition cost was pretty light and it's a […]

Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe, Crawford made it clear that, while he respects Tyson's legacy, the fight did not reflect well on the sport or the former heavyweight champion.Shannon Sharpe almost eats a right hand from boxing champ Terence Crawford"I love Tyson," Crawford said. "Tyson shouldn't have been out there. At all." He elaborated that the match lacked competitive integrity and leaned heavily toward spectacle over substance.

2025 NFL Draft: Cowboys draft Texas’ Jaydon Blue in fifth round; RB compares himself to Jahmyr Gibbs
Imagn Images FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys addressed their running back room in free agency with a couple of vets on one-year deals in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders.With their first pick on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas selected a young back who will be around for a while in Texas Longhorns rusher Jaydon Blue. He's an adept receiver out of the backfield on a variety of routes, and his six receiving touchdowns in 2024 co-led the nation among running backs. Blue is undersized as far as NFL running backs go, standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 196 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine. He does possess the potential to take the ball to the house on any touch thanks to his electrifying speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash, second-fastest among running backs at the combine), provided he hangs […]
Browns pick Shedeur Sanders as part of this bizarre draft strategy the NFL has never seen before
Getty Images The free fall of Shedeur Sanders finally came to an end on Saturday when the Cleveland Browns selected the Colorado quarterback during the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Although Sanders took an unexpected draft tumble, it might actually end up working out for him and that's because he could have a realistic chance to win the Browns starting quarterback job. Sanders will be joining a quarterback room that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Deshaun Watson, along with Dillon Gabriel, whom the Browns selected in the third round. Yup, that's right: The Browns have already taken two quarterbacks and they did it before the fifth round even ended. Gabriel was the fifth quarterback taken and Sanders was the sixth quarterback taken, which set up the rare situation where one team took consecutive quarterbacks in the draft. The last […]
