Oscar De La Hoya stuns fans with shredded abs aged 49 as he takes part in Christmas Day sparring session
BOXING legend Oscar De La Hoya wowed his fans as he showed off his shredded abs on social media.
The boxer retired in 2008 but hasn’t let that stop him from maintaining his impressive physique.
He hung up his gloves after losing to Manny Pacquiao, but has continued to keep himself in good shape.
The American, who now works as a promoter for the sport, shared his achievement with his 979k followers on Instagram.
He posted a video of himself sparring along with the caption: “2023 is about peace and freedom.
“Changes in life are not easy when you decide you wanna better yourself.
“I’m getting ahead and working out my mind, body and soul starting now!!! FYI I had to run to the restroom after my workout because I ate nine tamales.”
And his fans were impressed with his fitness, as one commented: “Dam the Golden Boy ripped up.”
A second wrote: “Looking Great! Merry Christmas champ.”
A third said: “How n the hell that dude’s abs look better at 50 than they did at 25?”

A fourth added: “How is he more ripped now than he was in his prime lol.”
Last year De La Hoya called out Floyd Mayweather for a sensational rematch after he was hospitalised with Covid.
De La Hoya told TMZ Sports: “Personally, right now I’m not motivated because of Covid.
“I was actually in great shape and then Covid hit me, so my morale right now is a little low in terms of me fighting in the ring personally.
“But come January, I’m sure I will get right back into it and start training again and prepare myself mentally first.
“But I do want to get out there again, possibly Cinco De Mayo (May 5).
“Who knows, it could be Floyd Mayweather.
“It’s probably the biggest fight you could make today.”
