Harry Dhami

Harry Dhami (born 17 April 1972) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2003. He held the British welterweight title from 2000 to 2001, being the first British Asian to win a British title.

Career Born and raised in Gravesend, Dhami initially fought at super welterweight. He made his professional début in October 1992 with a points win over Johnny Pinnock. After winning his first three fights he was held to a draw in October 1994 by Steve McNess. A run of four straight defeats followed up to the end of 1995.

Dhami found more success after dropping down to welterweight. He beat Ojay Abrahams in May 1996 to take the BBBofC Southern Area welterweight title, and went on to make four successful defences. He lost the title on his third defence in November 2001 when he was stopped in the fifth round by Neil Sinclair. He returned in November 2003 to face super welterweight Lee Armstrong; Dhami won on points, but didn't fight again.

He went on to start his own gym in Gravesend, the Elite Boxing and Fitness Gym.
