Timeline
José "King" Roman (born December 17, 1946) is a Puerto Rican former boxer who was Puerto Rico's first world heavyweight championship challenger.
He holds notable victories over Manuel Ramos and ex-Light Heavyweight champion Vicente Rondon.
In Roman's early career, he achieved mixed results.
After the Bodell loss, Roman had a win-streak, defeating O'Halloran once again and besting Manuel Ramos.
He lost to Robie Harris but put together a streak of wins before fighting George Foreman.
In late August 1973, he travelled to Tokyo, Japan to challenge world Heavyweight champion George Foreman, losing by a knockout in the first round there on September 1.
Roman's corner protested that he was hit by Foreman while Roman was down, although no action was taken on this complaint.
Photos exist that seem to corroborate Roman's corner's version of events.
Even though he lost, he made history by becoming the first Puerto Rican to challenge for the world's Heavyweight championship.
The only fellow Puerto Ricans to challenge for the heavyweight championship are Ossie Ocasio, Fres Oquendo and John Ruiz, who later became the first Latino to hold a version of the heavyweight championship.
Roman held a win over former WBA world Light Heavyweight champion Vicente Rondon just after the Foreman fight, his first win afterwards.
In 1975 he lost to Mike Quarry and later in the year he began a series of losses.
Roman was defeated by Boone Kirkman afterwards, in 1977, but never achieved a notable fight afterwards, having a mixed record.
Roman retired in 1981 with a record of 54 wins, 27 losses and 4 draws, with 27 knockout wins.
He used to work at a Sweetbay Supermarket in Tampa, Florida.
Ruiz was born in the USA of Puerto Rican ancestry.
He has a daughter, Selina, who is an artist.
There is a mural in Tampa Bay that depicts him and dr. Ferdie Pacheco, a well-known television boxing pundit.
