Early life

De la Rosa was born in 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.[1] On 3 October 2008,[2] James gave the much feared Tim Coleman the first loss of his career.[3] In 2010, he filed for bankruptcy, which canceled out his contracts with Duva Boxing and Cavazos Boxing.[4] De la Rosa subsequently signed a deal with Don King's promotional company.[5]

Personal life

De la Rosa is the brother of Light Middleweight boxer Juan de la Rosa,[6] who was a contestant on The Contender.[7]
