Oscar De La Hoya is becoming the latest legendary boxer to come out of retirement, and he has high hopes for a potential opponent.

The 48-year-old boxer announced Friday that he is officially returning to the ring on July 3, during a Triller Fight Club event alongside Snoop Dogg. He did so with a literal mic drop.
