Charan Kaur Dhesi, a standout athlete, is beginning to make her mark in a traditionally male-dominated sport.
About nine months ago, she announced her decision to officially turn professional, declaring: “I can now proudly say I am the first Sikh female professional boxer coming out of the UK.”
“Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey as an amateur. I can’t wait to transition into the pro scene and make my mark — let’s make history!” she wrote.
Next week (Dec 10), she will appear at an exclusive speaker event at King’s College London.
The programme will begin with a practical boxing session, where Dhesi will guide participants through key techniques and training methods. Afterwards, she will speak about her journey as Britain’s first Sikh woman professional boxer, reflecting on identity, faith, performance, and how she uses her platform to challenge stereotypes and create space for others.
The event, hosted by the King’s College London Amateur Boxing Club in collaboration with the UK-based charity Boxing Is Love, will be held at Bush House from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
