Oscar De La Hoya Reacts to New Deal

The undefeated Mexican is seemingly on the right track to world title glory and is becoming a feared fighter in the lightweight division. His fan-friendly style, fast combinations and KO power make him a joy to watch. He has recorded eye-catching wins throughout his career against Joseph “JoJo” Diaz in October 2022, when his high work rate and impressive accuracy saw him win comfortably by unanimous decision.

Most recently, “Camaron” blew away Maxi Hughes in four rounds, outworking his English opponent from the opening round. His accuracy and punch volume are phenomenal and make him a nightmare for any fighter in the lightweight division.

He continued: “Golden Boy happily reaffirms our commitment to him and his career goals. There is no one more exciting or dangerous in the lightweight division than Zepeda. Every time out, he is a threat to either break a Compubox record or take out an opponent in the first round, or both.”

Zepeda was full of gratitude regarding the new deal and revealed his world title ambitions: “I feel very happy and very grateful to Golden Boy for giving our team a boost and giving us the opportunity to continue to be a part of such a great company.”
