Career
Born in Gravesend and initially fighting at super welterweight, Harry Dhami 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 Souther Area welterweight title, and went on to make four successful defences. After building up a run of ten straight wins, he challenged for Derek Roche's British title in March 2000, taking the title on points. He made successful defences against Malcolm Melvin (October 2000) and Spencer McCracken (November 2000) but didn't win the Lonsdale Belt outright as the rule was changed to require three defences. He lost the title on his third defence in November 2001 when he was stopped in the fifth round by Neil Sinclair.
Dhami returned in November 2003 to face super welterweight Lee Armstrong. Dhami won on points, but didn't fight again.
