Oscar De La Hoya vs. Shane Mosley, billed as Destiny, was a professional boxing match contested on June 17, 2000 for the WBC and IBA welterweight titles.
[1] The previous year, De La Hoya had lost the WBC welterweight title to Félix Trinidad.
[6] Mosley was undefeated 34 professional bouts and had previously fought in the lightweight division where he had been the IBF champion from 1997 to 1999 before relinquishing the title in September 1999 to move up to welterweight.
In a closely contested fight, Mosley would earn a narrow split decision victory to become only the sixth fighter (at the time) to win titles in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions.
After unsuccessfully challenging Forrest in a bid to regain the welterweight title, Mosley finally began talks with De La Hoya for the long awaited rematch.
