Harry Dingley

Glaswegian Harry Dingley was the Scottish featherweight champion and was a member of the Great Britain squad for the 1924 Paris Games, where he reached the quarter-final before losing to the Belgian Jean Devergnies. As the ABA lightweight runner-up in 1928, he was selected as a reserve for his second Olympics in Amsterdam.

Despite his many Scottish titles, Dingley never won an ABA title, but lost in the lightweight final on two occasions, to Tom Slater (1926) and Fred Webster (1928). Dingley also twice reached the semi-final, losing on both occasions to the eventual winner, W. J. Hunt, in both 1927 and 1929. Three weeks after the Amsterdam Olympics, Dingley won the lightweight title at the Tailteann Games in Dublin, and was presented with his prize by world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. After ending his fighting career, Dingley became a boxing promoter in Scotland, where he also owned and raced greyhounds.
