Editing Oscar De La Hoya (section)

===Super featherweight===
On November 23, 1992, De La Hoya made his professional debut by scoring a first-round KO victory over Lamar Williams in 1 minute 42 seconds.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gustkey |first1=Earl |title=De La Hoya's Debut as a Pro Is Golden |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-11-24-sp-1096-story.html |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |access-date=20 September 2024 |date=24 November 1992}}</ref>

====De La Hoya vs. Concepción cancellation====
De La Hoya was scheduled to fight Jesús Vidal Concepción in a ten-round junior lightweight bout on December 9, 1993, televised by ESPN's "Thursday Night Fights" at the Paramount Theatre in New York City, but pulled out due to a wrist injury. Some found the injury suspicious and speculated that Oscar was being overdramatic. Oscar said that he aggravated an old ligament injury while hitting the heavy bag a week before. Later that month De La Hoya would fire his co-managers Mittleman and Nelson over money issues.
