Tarvis Simms

Tarvis Simms (born May 1, 1971 in Norwalk, Connecticut) is an American professional boxer in the Middleweight (160 lb) division.

Simms also competed in international tournaments and fought two-time Olympic gold medalist Ariel Hernández of Cuba.

In 2005, he fought to a highly controversial draw in the hometown of Robert Frazier at the Turning Stone Casino in May, 2005.

Following a two-year layoff, Simms won five straight fights before losing for the first time in late 2009 to title contender Allan Green by decision.

After the close loss to Green, a bout which some ringsiders scored a draw, Simms signed with advisor Matt Yanofsky and inked a promotional deal with New Jersey–based Main Events.
