Oscar De La Hoya, an 11-time title holder who last fought in 2008, said on Wednesday he will come out of retirement and return to the ring at age 47, according to ESPN's Steve Kim.
De La Hoya will compete in an exhibition fight, though the final details have not been announced yet.
"It's a real fight," said De La Hoya. "I miss being in the ring, I love boxing. Boxing is what gave me everything I have today, and I just miss it."
De La Hoya won gold at the 1992 Olympics before winning the WBO junior lightweight title in 1994.
