Roy Harris (June 29, 1933 – August 8, 2023) was an American lawyer and heavyweight boxer.

[3] Harris and his brother Henry took up the boxing together after receiving their first set of gloves in a trade for wild ducks.

The promotion was colorful, due to the backstory of Harris' kinsmen, one of the celebrated East Texas clans still existing as their forebears had for generations.

Harris was predictably photographed in cowboy hat and boots, and in one wire photo, he holds a revolver at the ready (AP Wirephoto rw41500sh).

[5] To watch the fight in Texas, Harris' extended family gathered at the drive-in theater in nearby Conroe, which was equipped for the occasion with its own closed circuit movie hook-up.

"[7] Harris subsequently won six consecutive fights, before being stopped 2:35 into his bout with Sonny Liston.
