Bhatia is part of a small but visible group of British boxers of South Asian descent who took up the professional code in the United Kingdom. Boxing in Britain during his active years was governed by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), which licensed bouts and oversaw the championship structure within which Bhatia fought.
Bhatia competed at professional level in the super featherweight category, contesting bouts on domestic British fight cards. His career placed him within the broader landscape of British super featherweight boxing during a period when the division featured a number of competitive domestic-level fighters.
As a British boxer of Indian heritage, Bhatia features in discussions of representation of the South Asian community in British combat sports, alongside other British-Asian boxers who have pursued professional careers in the United Kingdom.
