Diego de la Hoya Villegas (born August 13, 1994) is a Mexican professional boxer who held the WBC-NABF and WBO-NABO super bantamweight titles between 2017 and 2019.
Growing up he idolized Mexican boxing legends Julio Cesar Chavez, and his cousin Oscar De La Hoya.
On September 4, 2015, De La Hoya stepped up and faced Jesus Ruiz, who had earlier that year lost to Leo Santa Cruz in a world title fight.
He successfully defended his WBC Youth title when Santomauro's trainer Shane Mosley threw in the towel in the seventh round.
De La Hoya defeated former IBF bantamweight champion Randy Caballero on September 16, 2017, on the undercard of Canelo Álvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin.
An accidental head clash caused a bad cut on Bernache's forehead, which led to the fight being stopped and ruled as a no-contest.
