Oscar de la Hoya Giving Back To The Community With Free Boxing Match

The Oscar De La Hoya Foundation is doing something else positive in the Pasadena community through a special night of professional boxing at Pasadena City Hall on Friday, August 30. The fights will be FREE and open to the public. This event will feature some of Golden Boy’s best Southern California prospects.

The capstone this epic day, the main event will be welterweight prospect Ferdinand Kerobyan (11-1, 6 KOs) fighting an Olympian Oscar Molina (13-2-1, 10 KOs) in an eight-round bout. Ferdinand Kerobyan is a 20-year-old boxer from North Hollywood, Calif. who became the first Golden Boy prospect to be managed by former UFC fighter and current WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey. After benefitting from several dominant wins, Kerobyan suffered his first loss against undefeated prospect Blair ‘The Flair’ Cobbs in a fight that was very close. Ferdinand Keroyban will look to hop back on track and build momentum in his second main event fight.
