Hansen competed for Denmark at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the welterweight division but lost his first match. Hansen turned professional shortly after the games and was active as a professional until 1982.
Hansen fought for the WBC world light welterweight title in 1973, but was stopped by Italian Bruno Arcari.[2]
Hansen won the European welterweight title in 1977 against Italian Marco Scano but lost the title by disqualification in his first defense.[2] In 1978 he was awarded a chance to regain the title against Frenchman Alain Marion whom Hansen stopped in the 6th round of the title bout.[2] Hansen later lost the title by disqualification. Hansen won the European title for the third time when he knocked out British European champion Dave Boy Green in the third round.[2] He defended the title successfully six times before giving up the title at the end of 1981.[2] His fought his last fight in December 1982 winning a decision against former world champion Perico Fernandez.[2]
Hansen retired in 1982 with a professional record of 78-14-0 (34 KO's).[2]
The 2017 Danish film, Den Bedste Mand, (Pound for Pound) is based on Hansen's and friend Ayub Kalule's lives.[3]
