Charlie Magri Bibliography

Charlie Magri was born 20 July 1956 in Tunis, Tunisia and is a former English flyweight boxer. He is from a Maltese family that settled in Stepney, London where he grew up. During his professional career he held the WBC, European, and British flyweight titles. He was 5 ft 3 in tall and had an exciting, aggressive style, being a two-handed puncher who did not care much for defence.

He had his first professional fight in October 1977, at the age of twenty-one. He knocked out Neil McLaughlin in the second round at the Royal Albert Hall. In only his third fight he gained the vacant British flyweight title after his fight with Dave Smith was stopped in the seventh round. In his twelfth fight, in May 1979, having won the previous eleven, he won on points against Franco Udella to take the European flyweight title. In December 1979, he defended his European title against Manuel Carrasco, of Spain, winning on points. In June 1980, he defended it again, this time against Giovanni Camputaro of Italy, winning on a technical knockout in the third. In February 1981, he defended his European title against Spaniard, Enrique Rodríguez, knocking him out in the second round. In September he fought a re-match with Cal in Avilés, Spain, and again knocked him out in the second.

In March 1983, he fought Eleoncio Mercedes, of the Dominican Republic, for the WBC and The Ring flyweight titles. The fight was at Wembley Arena and Magri won the titles when the fight was stopped in the seventh on cuts. In September 1983, he defended his world titles against Frank Cedeno, of the Philippines. The fight was at Wembley Arena, and Magri lost his titles when the referee stopped the fight in the sixth, after Magri had been put down three times.

In his next fight, in August 1984, Magri fought for the vacant European flyweight title that he had previously relinquished. He fought Italian, Franco Cherchi in Cagliari, Italy and won in the first round when a clash of heads left the Italian so badly cut that the referee had to stop the fight. In his next fight, in February 1985, he fought for the WBC flyweight title again. Since Magri had lost it, it had changed hands several times and was now held by Sot Chitalada of Thailand. The fight was held at the Alexandra Palace, London and Chitalada won on a technical knockout at the start of the fifth, after Magri's corner retired him. In October 1985, he fought a re-match against Franco Cherchi, in Alessandria, Italy, winning by a knockout in the second round. In May 1986, he had his last fight, defending his European title against Duke McKenzie of Croydon. The fight was stopped in the fifth round when he was knocked down and his manager, Terry Lawless threw in the towel.

His career record was 35 fights, 30 wins, 23 by KO and 5 Losses.
