Richard Ihetu, meglio noto con lo pseudonimo Dick Tiger (Amaigbo, 14 agosto 1929 – Aba, 15 dicembre 1971), è stato un pugile nigeriano di etnia Igbo, considerato uno dei più grandi pugili africani di ogni epoca.Fu campione del mondo dei pesi medi dal 1962 al 1963 e dal 1965 al 1966, e campione del mondo dei mediomassimi dal 1966 al 1968.Venne nominato Fighter of the year (pugile dell'anno) dalla rivista statunitense Ring Magazine nel 1962 e nel 1965. L'incontro in cui batté ai punti Frank DePaula fu invece eletto fight of the year del 1968. Nativo del villaggio di Amaigbo, oggi nello Stato di Imo, in Nigeria, all'epoca colonia inglese. Debuttò come professionista nel 1952 in patria, dove combatté 17 match, di cui 14 vinti. Al termine del 1955 emigrò a Liverpool, e combatté esclusivamente nelle arene inglesi e gallesi fino al 1959 dove proseguì in modo inizialmente incerto. Perse ai punti i primi quattro match ma, nel 1957, batté il futuro campione del mondo Terry Downes. Dopo le prime quattro sconfitte in terra britannica, combatté altre 24 volte, vincendo 20 match. Il 27 marzo 1958, conquistò il titolo di campione del Commonwealth dei pesi medi.
