Update 2: De la Hoya just posted a video from his hospital bed. ODLH wrote … “Wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend…preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, and I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support. I am currently in the hospital getting treatment and am confident I will be back in the ring before the year is up. God bless everyone and stay safe.”
Update 1: Our Oscar sources tell us the boxing legend — despite being fully vaccinated — has been hit hard by COVID … and is receiving treatment in the hospital.
Oscar De La Hoya has tested positive for COVID-19 and is out of his comeback fight with Vitor Belfort, TMZ Sports has learned. 58-year-old Evander Holyfield has agreed to step in and box Belfort on September 11 on Triller, our sources tell us.
The one remaining hurdle is getting Holyfield-Belfort approved by the California State Athletic Commission. If the commission does not sanction the match, we’re told the entire event will still go down … but it’ll be moved to Florida.
“despite being fully vaccinated”
Oscar got lucky, he was in for a beating!! I was looking forward to seeing it also. Oh well.
Can you imagine if someone told you in 1997, when DeLaHoya was emerging as a Superstar and an already aging Holyfield was experiencing a re-birth after his upsets over Tyson, that 24 years later, Holyfield would be stepping in as a replacement for Oscar in a fight? I would have thought that person was on acid!
I wouldn’t believe it. And back then, if they were on felix the cat, I might have joined them.
Bullshit. That’s Oscar I’m bed nursing a major hangover!! He looks plastered drunk…
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is all an act…
Despite Holyfield’s age, Belfort is up for a beating…
It’s okay guys Oscar will be fine. Remember, the vaccine is not designed to prevent you from getting covid it’s designed to stop you dying from covid. Oscar is lucky to be fully vaccinated otherwise he had a 1 in 800 chance of passing.
Last month the CDC report stated breakthrough deaths were 0.01 percent or less. Oscar’s chances of survival should be very good (even if unvaccinated) without taking into account any underlying conditions.
1 in 800 chance of survival is false, fake statistics, lies, intentionally misleading, fraud, unproven and disproven science
he doesnt sound right these vaccines dont work there is no proof it works they are just saying it works but there is no proof
Did Oscar and Fury hang out together as they both used COVID as their angle to delay fights?
Yep, Oscar, Fury, and Teofimo all got scared, err i mean caught the covid.
I think it’s more of a question of them getting scared they weren’t going to get the PPV sales they hoped for. I knew DeLaHoya was fighting, but had no idea it was supposed to be next weekend. I suspect in Fury’s case, he wasn’t really preparing and his mouth was writing checks his ass couldn’t deliver. COVID provides a good excuse for fighters to back out of fights, regardless of the real reason.
Oscar, the girls & I from Christopher Street are wishing you a speedy recovery.
Whether it is Christopher Street, Santa Monica Blvd, or The Streets of San Francisco, we look out for our own.
Speaketh … Miss. Javier Lopez – Martinez.
Covid will be kinder to Oscar than Belfort would. And less long term effects.
Some chemist in Columbia who was sick with covid sneezed all over the cocaine!
It just goes to show how unhealthy Hoya really is if he is in the hospital after being fully vaccinated. If you are unhealthy or have medical issues and you aren’t vaccinated, you are probably crazy. If you are healthy and aren’t vaccinated, stay strong and continue the fight for freedom!
Someone who gets it. Stay strong brother.
Oscar out, Evander in? What weight is this being fought at?
They gonna make Belfort wear 45 pounds of weights to make up the difference. ha ha
… “Wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend”-ODH
Yet the masses are so quickly accepting this “vaccine“#PopulationControl#GreatReset
I always knew the fight would not go on as planned. I thought Oscar might check into rehab rather than step back into the ring. But if he is really sick, my prayers are with him and his family.
Of course he’s really sick, when did Oscar ever duck anyone? Some of the comments here from what I consider flaming idiots makes you sad that these idiots are given a forum to spout ignorance.
This is true. Oscar did not duck anyone, which is why he has Ls on his resume.
Oscar never ducked anyone, and no one could ever take that away from him. He probably took on the toughtest assignments of any modern day fighter. And not in the same vein that Bert Cooper or Jose Ribalta took on tough assignments. DeLaHoya was the marquis fighter and he fought to win.
Never ducking anyone doesn’t mean you will have L’s . He was giving Felix Trinidad a boxing lesson and decided to run for 5 rounds. What does that have to do with not ducking anyone? He gave the fight away.
I thought DeLaHoya outscored and outboxed Tito, but ultimately, I don’t think he deserved to win because he sat on his lead and ran. Tito was the aggressor and tried to take the fight to Hoya, and feel he deserved the nod. I’m not sure what your comment about him ducking anyone is about; he never ducked anyone, and if you consistently take the toughest fights out there, you’re going to lose a few. Other than Hopkins and Pacquiao, all his losses were controversial and could have gone either way.
In his prime, Oscar excelled. However, he’s not the same Oscar we knew years ago. Oscar has not fought in a while and age takes a toll on all of us…..
So, if you take both doses of these vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson, you will not be in danger of contracting the covid virus
-Said the leaders put in charge of regulating this pandemic.
Only a couple of months later an in shape, below middle aged man who was in tip-top condition for his age, and who had taken all of the latest doses of the shots, not only contracted the virus but has symptoms so bad that they hospitalize him. Is anybody else beginning to think that these people have been lying to us all along?
Chris the natural, since when has government or anything to do with them been honest or truthful about anything?
I’ve known all along they have been lying. If you watch the correct news outlets, you’d know this. STOP watching all the fake news out there, which is 95% of news. Local news is fake news too. They are all owned by ABC, CBS and NBC news networks, all fake news.
Certain people have assumed authority, We did not elect them. They are circumventing our system. They are supposed to be in the service of the people, but instead they are imposing the will of their masters and subjugating the people.
Keep telling you all. Covid Vaxx is not a vaxx, it is a gene therapy. They are worthless. They are designed for one of three things: sterility, spreading the virus, or severe illness or even death. Call me crazy, but only YOU should determine wether to take a vaxx or not. Once the government forces it upon you, how can you trust them any longer?
Their “vaccine” does not guarantee to protect anyone from “covid”. Only one things it does guarantee, is that you will have injected the virus into your body. Congratulations.
ETK, mRNA vaccines do not use the real virus in their formulary. It’s a created viral spike that mimics the viral strain that will allow your immune system to create antibodies ahead of seeing the real virus should it come into contact with it.
No, it’s a protein spike that actually acts as an alternative immune system. The problem with that is, is that a new variant that is not the simulation that was injected into your body can be deadly. I can’t prove this but I’ll bet if Oscar had not have gotten those two shots, he wouldn’t have ever known he had COVID and gone to the hospital. Very prominent health officials who have been banned by big tech, like Silicone Valley morons know anything about health care, have said that people who get booster shots after the mRNA vaccinations are flirting with death.
I wish I could see some evidence-based research on all the testimonies surrounding the government conspiracies and these vaccines. I have access to such a database, but my searches come up short. Hmmm…Imagine that.
Well, when you have a specific agenda then your narrative will be different.
They care so much, that they want to protect us from the bioweapon which they created. Awe, how sweet. I really trust them. Yes, please inject me, tamper with my DNA, control every aspect of every human’s life on the entire planet, forever, muzzle us, inject us.
DNA is in the nucleus of a cell. The mRNA vaccine does not cross the nucleus of a cell. Reckless everyday bad habits of drinking, smoking, and unprotected sex (risk of HPV) can mess with your DNA.
Yes, it’s true what you say. I took the vaccine 4 months ago and now I’m dead! I’m writing this from my grave. That’s what I get for being on of the sheeple. My bad!
I have been a frontline worker since the early fall of 2020. Being vaccinated in January of 2021 and working at the bedside with a few hundred COVID patients in critical condition, I have managed to evade the illness. I find it really odd some folks will argue over government control in this pandemic, but I never hear complaining or revolt against paying taxes to the IRS or obeying some goofy laws which is all government control.
Well, hear it from me then. This country will not survive unless we kill the Fed. Do not defund the police, defund the federal government. How do you do that? Everybody stop paying income tax. Problem solved.
You know, I see your point, but people will complain over a vaccine and rarely truly stop paying income tax. Why? Jail time on tax evasion… Talk is cheap, but actions are a different story.
Not filing an income tax is against the law, but not paying the taxes is not. That is from a certified public accountant. You’re right about talk is cheap, because if a very scant percentage of the population were to stop paying taxes then the cabal would just make an example of those few. That’s why it needs to be a collaborative effort or it won’t succeed. So, when I was referring to people need to stop paying income tax to defuned the federal government, I said people not person.
If your head does not explode, like the scene from Total Recall, then it is safe.
Shortsighted often?
Side effects can happen in the future.
Years from now you may not even know why you can have serious health issues, and not even know what caused it. They will deny any correlation. They are already denying correlation, even when people drop dead the day after taking the vaccine.
This! Exactly.
@HeavyHitters I agree with you that everybody should decide for themselves if they get vaccinated or not, but as far as your comment: “They are designed for one of three things: sterility, spreading the virus, or severe illness or even death.”, where could you have possibly gotten that from? I also noticed in an earlier post that you mentioned all the fake news channels out there (I also noticed you didn’t mention FOX), and we should watch the “correct news outlets”. What are the correct news outlets, and how would you know for certain if they’re correct or not? I would have to concede though that unbiased POLITICAL news seems hard to come by, and that would include FOX.
I got the Pfizer vaccine a few months back, and all is fine. Try typing “Pfizer vaccine phase 3 data” in a Google search. Check out the very first result. They will give you bullet points on the findings. Also, aren’t Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J all private sector?
I get a kick out of some of the conspiracy theories I’ve heard over the years over major stories like this. “9-11 was an inside job!”, or “Somebody blew up the levee with dynamite when Katrina hit New Orleans” are a couple of examples. I actually had a grown man explaining to me that a well-known public figure here in America actually died a long time ago, and her Public appearances nowadays are a hologram, that it’s a government cover-up. He said he knew this because he saw pictures online. I was trying my best not to laugh, but it was impossible. BTW, this is a guy who preaches to listen to the “real” news sources out there.
It is your conspiracy theory that everyone else is conspiring and making up theories.
Fauci, Wuhan lab, China level censoring and oppression, North Korean style American inauguration of despised inept corrupt politicians, every human on the planet under totalitarian domination.
Nothing unusual happening, just shut up and obey.
“Just shut up and obey”. Ok, so you watch Tucker Carlson, because I know he likes to use that line. Nothing wrong with that. I just hope you’re not one of those who we will see in one of those Karen videos getting dragged, kicking and screaming out of a bank or something for refusing to wear a mask, all while yelling that the whole thing is a conspiracy.
You stay strong by the GRACE OF GOD you will over come and May GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY
Staying healthy is normally attributed to a clean lifestyle & good hygiene. Oscar has been drinking heavily for years & probably doing other things, too. His immune system is obviously weaker than that of a clean lifestyle person like Mayweather. Also, it’s a fact that touching your own face & rubbing your eyes after shaking hands, like Oscar does, can spread germs. Oscar will never again be his old self; the damage has been done!
Any time I see a COVID-related item here, I immediately go to these comments to see just how much stupidity there is here among you. And I’ll notice when a lot of you stop posting here, having earned your ‘forever box’ thanks to that stupidity. I just hope you don’t take out innocents with you.
Thank God you got vaccinated for a sickness with a 99.97% recovery rate and in which you would have stronger immune system afterwards. The vaccines don’t work dipshit. They are not even vaccines.
