@jcamachito0: Oscar De La Hoya has finally explained why he wasn’t there for Ryan Garcia’s showdown with Conor Benn — and according to Oscar, it was his decision to stay away. De La Hoya said he knew it was a Dana White and Turki Alalshikh show, and he wasn’t going to put himself in a position where he felt he could be embarrassed. That adds a new layer to the story after Garcia publicly expressed disappointment that Oscar wasn’t there. Ryan even said he had wanted the Hall of Famer to walk him to the ring for what could have been an iconic moment. 🔥 But Oscar wasn’t finished. De La Hoya also revealed that Golden Boy is working to finalize Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Keith “One Time” Thurman, reportedly being targeted for December 12 in Arizona on the David Benavidez card. That fight has not been officially announced, so we’ll continue watching negotiations. Oscar explains his absence — while Golden Boy works on another major fight to close out 2026. 👀🥊 Showzen1 Productions Sports & Entertainment #OscarDeLaHoya #RyanGarcia #VergilOrtizJr #KeithThurman #showzen1productionsboxingmedia
