Los Angeles (September 10) - The following statement is from Oscar De La Hoya and was released to us here at Doghouse Boxing.

Official statement from Oscar De La Hoya:

Canelo Alvarez and I have big fights coming up this weekend. His is the ring and mine in treatment.

I will not be at the fight to cheer Canelo to victory since I have voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment facility.

I explained this to Canelo and he understood that my health and long term recovery from my disease must come first.

Thank you for your understanding. I ask for your support and privacy during this difficult time for me and my family.

- Oscar De La Hoya
