Oscar De La Hoya Calls Out Conor McGregor Saying He Would Not Him Out In ‘Two Rounds’

Boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya has been in a war of words with UFC superstar Conor McGregor for a while now and it is now starting to ramp up.

When asked how he would do in a fight versus McGregor, De La Hoya said that it would take “two-rounds” to knock out McGregor.

McGregor was quick to respond, saying on Twitter that he accepts De La Hoya’s challenge.

The 47-year old De La Hoya has not fought since defeating Manny Pacquiao in 2008, retiring the following year. He finished his career with a 39-6 with 30 knockouts. 

If a fight were to take place, there is the potential for it to be of the magnitude of when McGregor took on Floyd Mayweather in 2017, a fight that saw McGregor lose after ten rounds. That fight generated over $600 million in revenue. Would a De La Hoya vs. McGregor fight be of that scale, no, but it would definitely be worth watching by fans.

McGregor last fought in January, taking down Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in round one in a UFC event.
