Henry William Coleman (13 January 1904 – 6 May 1957),[1] better known as Harry Corbett, was an English boxer who was British featherweight champion between 1928 and 1929, and also fought for titles at bantamweight and lightweight.
[10] He drew his next three fights, against Berg, Edouard Mascart, and van Dijk, before beating Danish champion Knud Larsen in July.
He had less success in the latter half of the year, losing to Berg, Larsen,[11] Mascart,[12] Cuthbert (twice), and Belgian champion François Sybille.
He lost only one fight in 1927 (on a disqualification to Young Clancy), beating Sam Steward twice, and also defeating van Dijk and European bantamweight champion Henri Scillie.
[13] In March 1928 Corbett challenged Cuthbert for the British featherweight title at the N.S.C., the last time the belt was contested over 20 scheduled rounds.
