Travis Simms (born 1 May 1971) is a Democratic member of the Connecticut House of Representatives, where he represents the 140th Assembly District. The district consists of the central part of the city of Norwalk. He previously served on Norwalk's Common Council. Prior to his political career he was a professional boxer in the super welterweight (154 lb) division.Simms is a native of the South Norwalk section of Norwalk, Connecticut. His childhood street bears his name "Travis Simms Way". He is currently a member of the Norwalk Common Council. His identical twin brother, Tarvis Simms, is also a fighter.Simms, nicknamed "Tremendous", turned pro late at the age of 26, after a stellar amateur career. Although he held the title twice, he was still undefeated until his 26th bout. He first won it in 2003, but was stripped of the belt in May 2005 because he filed a lawsuit against the WBA Organization (in November 2004) for not enforcing his mandatory contract that he received from the organization when he won the regular world title from Alejandro Garcia 2 December 2003.Simms made a request to enforce his mandate or strip the Super champion Ronald "Winky" Wright.As the result of an out-of-court settlement in the summer of 2006, the WBA reinstated Simms as "Champion in Recess" in August 2006 while maintaining the full champion status of reigning champion Jose Antonio Rivera. On 6 January 2007, Simms won a nine-round knockout victory against Jose Antonio "El Gallo" Rivera in a championship bout in Hollywood, Florida.
