For De La Hoya, this will be the first time that he has stepped into the ring since he lost to Manny Pacquiao in 2008. For the past 13 years, he has been the head of Golden Boy promotions, but with Triller Fight Club holding events featuring veterans of combat sports, De La Hoya will box again.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of his comeback fight, De La Hoya has been doing the media rounds, and one of the things that he spoke openly about for the first time was being sexually assaulted at the age of 13. Although it was 35 years ago, De La Hoya still remembers what happened vividly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was raped at 13, from a woman, an older woman.
