Biography
Dick Murunga boxed for Kenya at the 1972 München Olympics. An Army officer, the Kenyan authorities did not allow him to turn professional, so he left the Army and turned pro in 1974. He fought three bouts professionally, usually as Tiger Murunga, winning all three in later 1974. He may have returned and had one bout in 1988, a loss by KO, but that is not clear.
