Oscar De La Hoya Admits ‘Flaws,’ Enters Rehab

Addiction may be the toughest fight Oscar De La Hoya has seen — the boxing legend is currently seeking help for substance abuse at a California rehab facility, according to TMZ.

The boxing legend is taking to Twitter to reveal a more thoughtful and introspective side — a stark contrast from his persona in the ring.

“Stop finding excuses not to live,” he tweeted. “Life is controlled by what you make of it and not of what it makes of you.”

De La Hoya reportedly entered the facility several weeks ago to battle his demons and it appears that his new world outlook is sticking.

“Take a deep breath and let out all that anger that makes you hate,” he continued to tweet. “It really is going to be o.k.”

De La Hoya boasts an impressive record, having earned several boxing championship belts as well as a 1992 Olympic gold medal. But even with a gold medal hanging around his neck, the legend admits that he has his downfalls.

“After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on,” he told TMZ. “Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.”

Hopefully Oscar De La Hoya can knock out his addictions in the first round — and keep the women’s clothes off.
