De La Hoya revealed he was training in preparation to box once again but has now released inside footage.
The Golden Boy Promotions boss uploaded a video on social media hitting the speed bag.
In the short clip the former pay-per-view star proves his speed is still there.
De La Hoya has not fought since 2008 when he was dominated by Manny Pacquiao.
He has gone on to find success in promoting in his years in retirement, recently guiding the career of Saul Canelo Alvarez.
But De La Hoya is seriously considering a comeback and will make a decision once Tyson fights Roy Jones Jr, 51, in an eight-round exhibition next month.
De La Hoya told The Ring Digital: “I actually want to see what Tyson does first. I have been working out, I have been training, I have been staying in shape.
“Obviously, I’m not in fighting shape yet to go 12 rounds. I’m sure I could get there.
“We’ll see. I want to see Tyson perform, see how his reflexes are, see if he can go past three or four rounds. We’ll see and then I’ll make my decision.”
De La Hoya won world titles in six different weight divisions
