LOS ANGELES – The current "Golden Boy" and legendary champion Oscar de la Hoya will pay tribute to the original Los Angeles "Golden Boy" Art Aragon, who died this year at the age of 88.
"Art Aragon meant so much to boxing and the Los Angeles community," said De La Hoya, who was called "Golden Boy" soon after winning his 1992 Olympic gold medal. "With his passing this March, I thought it was only fitting to dedicate my fight to him and acknowledge his great contribution to boxing and the community. I am glad his family will be able to be there for this special night." [details]
