József Kreul "Joe" Bugner (born March 13, 1950) is a British/Australian. Born in Szőreg, Hungary, Bugner and his family fled after the 1956 Soviet invasion and settled in England. During the 1970s, Bugner twice held the British and British Commonwealth heavyweight titles and he was a three time European heavyweight champion. He was a top-ranked contender during the 1970s, fighting such opponents as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle, Jimmy Ellis and Henry Cooper. He fought for the world heavyweight championship in 1975, losing on points in a second bout with Ali.
Bugner retired in 1977 and moved to Australia. Over the next two decades he made sporadic comebacks with variable success, winning the Australian heavyweight title in 1995. He retired in 1999 with a final record of 69-13-1, including 41 wins by knockout.
