James Micheal de la Rosa (born 18 November 1987) is a Mexican professional boxer. He is currently signed with Don King.

Early life

De la Rosa was born on 19 November 1987, to a Mexican father and an African-American mother.

Professional career

De la Rosa's first big win came against undefeated Abel Perry by 2nd round K.O. as the headliner of a TeleFutura card. On 3 October 2008, James gave the much feared Tim Coleman the first loss of his career. In 2010, he filed for bankruptcy, which canceled out his contracts with Duva Boxing and Cavazos Boxing. De la Rosa subsequently signed a deal with Don King's promotional company.

Personal life

De la Rosa is the brother of light middleweight boxer Juan de la Rosa, who was a contestant on The Contender.
