"Bold" Mike McTigue (November 26, 1892 – August 12, 1966) was an Irish-American professional boxer who reigned as the undisputed light-heavyweight boxing champion of the world from 1923 to 1925. He was the first light-heavyweight champion to be recognized by The Ring, a title he held from 1924 to 1925. After his first reign ended following a loss to Paul Berlenbach, he was awarded the NYSAC world light-heavyweight title in 1927, but he lost it that same year to Tommy Loughran in his first defense.
