Oscar Natalio "Ringo" Bonavena (September 25, 1942 – May 22, 1976) was an Argentine heavyweight professional boxer with a career record of 58 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw. A rugged, wild-swinging puncher, he was nicknamed "Ringo" because of his Beatles haircut, and enjoyed professional success in both Argentina and the United States. Bonavena was shot dead at the age of 33 in Reno, Nevada. He is remembered for giving Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali hard-fought bouts.
