Oscar De La Hoya vs. Julio Cesar Chavez III? Could happen.

Chavez, the 58-year-old Mexican icon who lost two fights to De La Hoya in the 1990s, has challenged his rival to meet him one more time in an exhibition.

De La Hoya, who says he’s returning the ring at 47, specifically said he didn’t want to take part in an exhibition but anything is possible if the money is right.

Chavez is scheduled to face Jorge Arce in an exhibition on Sept. 25.

“It would be the last exhibition I would do,” Chavez said during an interview on the ESPN Deportes program Ahora o Nunca. “But I want to do it in front of fans, not without.

“I want everyone to see the [beating] I’m going to give him.”

The unbeaten De La Hoya bloodied and knocked out an aging Chavez in the fourth round in June 1996, only Chavez’s second loss. “The Golden Boy” stopped Chavez in eight rounds in September 1998.

Chavez last fought in a sanctioned bout in 2005, when he failed to come out for the sixth round against Grover Wiley.

De La Hoya retired after he was beaten up and stopped by Manny Pacquiao in eight rounds in December 2008.
