Built in 1974, named after the Bradford boxer who fought Muhammad Ali in 1976, the landmark building closed in 2019.

A surprise decision last year by Historic England to grant it listed status saved the building. Its future use remains uncertain.

Here we look back on happy times at the 'Richard Dunn'.
