He joined the army in 1956 at 19, and four years later, bested reigning champion Mohabbat Singh to win the Western Command Boxing Championship. Hawa Singh dominated the national circuit with 11 consecutive championships from 1961 to 1972, a record yet to be challenged in the Heavyweight category.

He couldn't go to Jakarta for the Asian Games in 1962 due to border problems with China, but represented India in the '66 and '70 in Bangkok, winning two consecutive gold medals.
