Mikey Garcia (born December 15, 1987), whose full name is Miguel Ángel García Cortés, is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2006 to 2021, amassing a record of 40 wins, 2 losses, and 30 knockouts across four weight divisions.

Hailing from Moreno Valley, California, as part of a prominent boxing family with six brothers who also fought professionally, Mikey Garcia turned pro under Top Rank promotion after an amateur career that included gold medals at the U.S. National Championships and the U.S. Golden Gloves.

Known for his technical precision, patient pressure fighting style, powerful right hand, and ability to switch to southpaw, he began his career undefeated in 20 bouts, 17 by knockout, before capturing his first world title in 2013.​

Mikey Garcia launched his championship tenure by winning the WBO featherweight title via technical decision over Orlando Salido in January 2013 at Madison Square Garden, overcoming a controversial weigh-in issue and four knockdowns in a fight stopped due to a head clash.

He defended the belt twice, including a fourth-round knockout of Juan Manuel López, before moving up to claim the WBO super featherweight crown with an eighth-round stoppage of Román Martínez in 2013, followed by a dominant decision over Juan Carlos Burgos.

Progressing through divisions, he secured the WBC lightweight title against Dejan Zlatičanin by third-round knockout in 2017, unified the WBC and IBF lightweight straps via unanimous decision over Robert Easter Jr. in 2018 after dropping him in round three, and captured the WBC light welterweight title against Sergey Lipinets in 2018.​

His high-profile victories extended to a lopsided unanimous decision over four-division champion Adrien Broner in 2017, solidifying his pound-for-pound status, though setbacks came with a 2020 points loss to Luke Campbell for the interim WBA lightweight title and a 2021 majority decision defeat to Sandor Martín at welterweight.

Mikey Garcia challenged Errol Spence Jr. unsuccessfully for the WBC and IBF welterweight titles in 2022 but retired shortly thereafter at age 34, having held world championships in featherweight, super featherweight, lightweight, and light welterweight.

Throughout his career, he earned accolades as a four-division titlist, Trainer of the Year honors for his father Eduardo, and respect for his disciplined approach and family-oriented professionalism.
