Oscar De La Hoya, 2020?

The former boxer says he's planning to throw his hat in the ring for a presidential run, according to USA Today.

De La Hoya made the announcement in Las Vegas, where he's promoting an upcoming boxing match.

The 45-year-old Olympic champion said he'll run as a Democrat.

If he does choose to enter the political arena, his personal life might become a factor.

De La Hoya has had issues with drug and alcohol abuse in the past. He was arrested for driving under the influence in January of last year.
