Description
Give your readers an unforgettable biography that is bound to become a favorite book. Known as The Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya is considered by many to be boxing's brightest star. As a boy, De La Hoya was able to avoid the pitfalls of his poor Los Angeles neighborhood, and become a Golden Gloves and Olympic champion. After winning the gold medal at the Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, as a promise to his recently deceased mother, De La Hoya joined the pro ranks and is now recognized as one of the greatest champions in the sport.
