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.
