Carlos Negrón Colón (born March 5, 1988) is a professional boxer who competes in the cruiserweight division. As an amateur, he represented Puerto Rico at numerous international events. Among the achievements reached during this stage of his career are winning bronze medal at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games and winning gold in the first Olympic qualifier tournament.
Negrón was born in the municipality of Villalba, in the central region of Puerto Rico's main island. Several members in his family were active members in the Police Department of Puerto Rico. His father is Lt. José Adolfo Negrón, and his two older brothers, José Alberto Negrón and José Alfredo Negrón also selected this office as their career. One of his uncles and several of his cousins are also police officers. Consequently, Negrón was initially attracted to a police career, but after he was introduced to boxing, he gained more interest in this sport. His brother, José Alberto, taught him the discipline and served as his trainer. At age 15 Negrón won his division’s bronze medal at the 2003 Junior Olympics, which prompted him to pursue the sport as a career.
In 2005 Negrón entered the Pan American championship, competing in the middleweight division. In the quarterfinals he defeated Leonel Murature of Argentina by points, 19:10. In the following round, Negrón was paired against Cristian Bautista of the Dominican Republic, winning by referee stopping contest (RSC). However, after advancing he was unable to compete against Emilio Correa in the finals, automatically losing by walkover. He subsequently ascended to the light heavyweight division. Negrón participated in the 25th Independence Cup, held in Santiago de los Caballeros from March 13–18, 2006. In the quarterfinals Negrón defeated Victor Alexander Segura of the Dominican Republic by points, 13:0. In the following round Negrón defeated Cristian Gálvez, another local pugilist, by RSC in the third round. On the tournament's last day, he won the Cup's championship versus Washington Silva, with scores of 20:6.
