American former professional boxer

Mikey Garcia, born Miguel Angel Garcia Cortez, is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2006 to 2021. He held world titles in four weight classes, from featherweight to light welterweight, and also fought once for the IBF welterweight title. He built his career across several divisions, moving up through the weights while collecting championships along the way. His name is most closely associated with sustained success at a range of classes, and with a later challenge at welterweight after he had already established himself as a multi-division champion.
