Dave Charnley met future world champion, Puerto Rican Carlos Ortiz at Harringay Arena in 1958 where he lost on a 10 round decision.
This is how The Times referred to it on the morning of the event:
"After 22 years Harringay Arena is closing. This evening we shall hear this great hall echo to cheers and see cigarette smoke swirl around the ring for the last time. The most important chapter in the history of British professional boxing is over".
