James Micheal de la Rosa (born November 18, 1987) is a Mexican professional boxer from Tamaulipas, Mexico. He is currently signed with Don King and is a former WBC Youth World champion.
De la Rosa was born in 1987, to a Mexican father and an African-American mother.
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 lost 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.
De la Rosa is the brother of Light Middleweight boxer Juan de la Rosa, who was a contestant on The Contender.
