Oscar De La Hoya speaks out as protests over ICE raids continue
"I am sad about what's happening in Los Angeles right now,'' De La Hoya said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports on June 11. "Growing up in L.A., I witnessed firsthand how integral immigrants are to the heartbeat of this city -- they are our friends, neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and loved ones. Latinos are among the most hardworking people in the world, and their contributions strengthen every corner of our communities." Though born in Montebello, California, De La Hoya spent his formative years in East Los Angeles, a predominantly Latino community. At the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, De La Hoya held an American flag and Mexican flag in the boxing ring after winning a gold medal. "As a proud Mexican-American, I carry immense gratitude for the sacrifices my family made in coming to the U.S. from Mexico in pursuit of a better future,'' De La Hoya, 52, also said in the statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. "Their courage gave me opportunities I'll never take for granted.'' De La Hoya, who won eight world championships in six weight divisions before announcing his retirement in 2009, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014. He is the founder and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, one of top promotion companies in boxing. Jane Murcia, Director for Golden Boy Promotions, said De La Hoya was not available for interviews.

Horse racing tips: ‘He's bigger, stronger and better than ever' – Templegate's 5-2 NAP for the Gosdens
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Horse racing tips: 'He's bigger, stronger and better than ever' – Templegate's 5-2 NAP for the Gosdens TEMPLEGATE tackles Friday's racing confident of building the bank for Royal Ascot. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. BURRITO (4.10 York, nap) Having missed his two-year-old season, this Gosden-trained son of Lope De Vega showed bundles of promise when winning on debut at Newmarket this time last year. He then went close at Chester in September before being gelded over the winter. He looked a bigger and stronger prospect when returning at Newbury 28 days ago. The four-year-old absolutely tanked along and was value for a fair bit more than the official margin of half a length. Unfortunately the handicapper was paying attention but a 10lb rise in the weights is fair enough. MISS JUSTICE (3.15 Sandown, nb) Will relish this longer trip under William Buick after an excellent second at Wolverhampton last time. She makes her handicap debut off the same mark and can give the Gosdens another winner. TOPTEAM (3.25 Chester, treble) Enjoyed himself over this course and distance 13 days ago when scooting in by more than three lengths. This race looks little tougher and he can take another step forward for Andrew Balding.
