Richard Dunn (born January 19, 1945) is an English boxer who unsuccessfully fought Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight title in 1976. Dunn is the only Yorkshireman ever to fight Ali, who knocked him out in the fifth round; this was to be the last knockout Ali achieved. Although he was 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. Richard Dunn is now retired and living in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
