Irving Jose Garcia (born 29 January 1979) is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer who competed from 1998 to 2012. He challenged for the WBA welterweight interim title in 2008 and won two regional WBC titles at the same weight.
Professional career Garcia faced WBA welterweight interim champion Yuriy Nuzhnenko on April 19, 2008, at the Kyiv Sports Palace in Ukraine. The bout ended in a technical draw after ten rounds due to Nuzhnenko sustaining a cut from an accidental clash of heads.
