Lakva Sim, (born March 10, 1972 in Ulan Bator, Mongolia as Dugarbaataryn Lkhagva, Template:Lang-mn), is a professional boxer. Sim was the first Mongolian boxer to capture a recognized World Title. He has held belts as both the WBA Lightweight Champion and the WBA Super Featherweight Champion.
A fighter with a heavy punch, Sim turned pro in 1995 and won the WBA Super Featherweight by defeating Takanori Hatakeyama. In that same year he later lost the belt to Jong Kwon Baek, and in 2002 challenged Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai for the Vacant WBA Super Featherweight Title, but lost by decision. He later moved up to Lightweight and in 2004 fought Miguel Callist for the Vacant WBA Lightweight Title, winning by TKO. Sim was outboxed and lost his belt in his next fight against the quick and high volume-punching Juan Diaz. In 2005, he upset promising prospect and fan favorite Ebo Elder by a late round TKO.
