"Archaeologists in Israel have discovered what they believe is the bust of a Roman boxer from the second or third century. (...) The archaeologists believe a merchant family from the eastern part of the Roman Empire most likely passed down the "precious object" through the generations until the fourth or fifth century, when an unfortunate family member had it with him at a public building, perhaps a hostel -- and an earthquake struck."

The fully developed, rectangular face shape is undoubtedly of athletic character.

The swelling around the eye brows and orbital areas accurately represent a washed up boxer. Here is the home page of Chuck Wepner, a boxer from the 70's who this statue reminds me of.
