Richard Dunn (born January 19th 1945) is an English boxer who unsuccessfully fought Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight title in 1976. Ali knocked Dunn out in the fifth round and this was the last knockout he ever scored. Although seriously overmatched, many British fans have said that Dunn made one of the most courageous showings of any British fighter when he faced Ali. A sports centre is named after Dunn in his home town of Bradford in honour of his achievements.It is interesting to note that Richard Dunn, having retired from boxing and now earning a trade as a builder, helped construct the sports centre that was named after him.
