“Fan Fury: Oscar De La Hoya Faces Criticism for Slamming Haney’s Promoter Eddie Hearn!”
In the electrifying aftermath of Ryan Garcia’s sensational victory over Devin Haney, emotions are running high, and the boxing world is buzzing with excitement. Yet, amidst the celebrations, one figure finds himself at the center of controversy: Oscar De La Hoya, the head of Golden Boy Promotions.
In a surprising turn of events, De La Hoya’s past has come back to haunt him as fans turned the spotlight on his recent comments directed at Eddie Hearn, Haney’s promoter. Following Garcia’s triumphant win, De La Hoya took to social media to launch a scathing attack on Hearn, igniting a firestorm of criticism from fans.
The drama unfolded when Hearn shared a heartfelt moment between himself and Haney on Instagram, expressing his unwavering support for the young fighter. However, De La Hoya’s response was anything but supportive. In a biting comment, he compared Hearn to legendary boxing promoter Don King, accusing him of lacking the experience of stepping into the ring.
He captioned the post, “The road is long. This young man will be back stronger than ever!”

“You obviously never laced up the gloves. Just like Don King and the rest. You don’t know what it’s like to fight inside a ring. Guess what? I do, and that beating will last for a while.”
