Dahn was born in Berlin and boxed for East Germany. He began boxing as a featherweight for SC Rotation Berlin [de] in 1958. He was coached by Günter Debert [de]. He boxed for ASK Vorwärts Berlin from 1964.[1]

Dahn was national champion in 1965.[1] That same year, he also won a bronze medal at the 1965 European Amateur Boxing Championships in the up to 67kg category.[2] He was defeated on points by Italian Luigi Patruno [it] in their semi-final match.[1]

As of April 1966, he was being trained by Wolter Kemberger and had undertaken 90 fights, 10 of which were international, and 72 of which were victories.[1]

His quest to medal again at the 1967 European Amateur Boxing Championships was ended by his defeat by his fellow East German Manfred Wolke, the eventual silver medal finisher.[3]

He also competed in the men's light middleweight event at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[4]
