First Mike Tyson. Then Evander Holyfield.
Now Oscar De La Hoya?
The 47-year-old Golden Boy, who heads his own promotional company, told RingTV.com that he has been inspired by Tyson’s workout videos and is considering a return to the ring himself.
Tyson, who turns 54 on June 30, has said he wants to take part in exhibitions for charity.
“I want to see what Tyson does first,” De La Hoya said. “I have been working out, I have been training, I have been staying in shape.
“Obviously, I’m not in fighting shape yet to go 12 rounds, but I’m sure I can get there. We’ll see.”
He went on: “I want to see Tyson perform. [I want to] see how his reflexes are, see if he can go past three, four rounds. Then I’ll make my decision.”
De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) last fought on Dec. 6, 2008, when he was knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in eight rounds.
