Oscar De La Hoya addresses potential physical altercation with Dana White
Summary

Promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Dana White may cross paths in Las Vegas this Saturday during the WBC welterweight title bout between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn. De La Hoya, who represents Garcia, has publicly addressed his longstanding feud with the Zuffa Boxing executive. While De La Hoya stated he would act professionally and shake hands if approached, he acknowledged the possibility of a physical conflict. He expressed confidence that he could neutralize White with a power jab should the situation escalate.
