The Webcast, in partnership with WorldStream Communications (www.worldstream.com), a leader in the Webcast industry, will feature a one-on-one interview with boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya by e-sports author Francis Walker.

In this exclusive event, de la Hoya discusses his loss to WBC/IBF welterweight champ Felix Trinidad and other issues he believes have hampered his professional boxing career.

E-sports.com radio will also offer listeners the opportunity to interact with show host Phil Giubileo, a nine-year veteran of sports talk shows and e-sports! author.

Currently a producer and content editor with WorldStream, Phil will take listeners’ questions and moderate a live chat.

"People who tune in to e-sports.com radio are going to be surprised," explains Dustin S. Klein, e-sports.com Editor-in-Chief.
