Oscar De La Hoya is obviously feeling great after his COVID hospital stay — some 7 days after the fact, he was putting his lungs to good use … with some movie-themed karaoke.
The boxing champ was out in Pasadena this past Wednesday, hitting a place called the Der Wolf bar for some evening time show tunes … where he got on the mic to sing “Shallow” — yes, the Lady Gaga song from “A Star is Born.”
In you can see ODLH reading lyrics off the monitor and belting out the second verse (Gaga’s part) … with bar-goers enthusiastically helping him out. Seems like a crowd favorite! He flubs a bit as he goes along — but carries on nicely regardless.
Hey guys, I am out of the hospital. I was in there for 3 days. COVID hit me really hard. I was in the best shape of my life and I really can’t wait to get back in the ring. Thank you very much for all your well wishes and all your support. I appreciate it.
It’s a 180 from how Oscar was doing just a week and change prior — when he was hospitalized for a handful of days for a nasty bout with COVID … which prevented him from fighting Vitor Belfort, and requiring Evander Holyfield to step in (and get TKO’d).
Clearly, Oscar’s doing great after that … and maybe this outing means he’ll get back in the ring sooner than later. Assuming he doesn’t get sick again, that is, in a mask-less environment (like this).
