Alan Minter Bibliography

Alan Minter was born 17 August 1951and is an English former professional boxer and a former Undisputed World Middleweight Champion.Before he turned professional he was the 1971 Amateur Boxing Association of England Middleweight Champion and he won the bronze medal at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.

He began his professional career in London on 31 October 1972 by knocking out Maurice Thomas in six rounds.He won five fights in a row by knockout and, in 1973, Pat Dwyer became the first boxer to go the distance with him, He won his next five fights, three by knockout, before tasting defeat for the first time, to "Scottish" Don McMillan due to bad cuts. Two more wins followed before facing Jan Magziarz, who beat him twice in a row, again due to cuts. Cuts were a major problem for him throughout his career.

In 1974 he had a mixed year,, as after beating Tony Byrne by a decision in eight, losing in two to Ricky Torres (again on cuts), having a third fight with Magziarz result in a no contest in four rounds and closing the year with a win in eight rounds by decision in his first international fight, against Shako Mamba in Hamburg, Germany.

He moved on again In 1975,and won four fights in a row, including another bout in Hamburg and, by the end of the year, he challenged Kevin Finnegan for the British Middleweight title,which he won.

In 1976 he won six fights, to extend his streak to ten consecutive wins. Among the boxers he beat were Billy Knight, and Finnegan once again,, both in defence of his British title, along with former world title challenger Tony Licata, knocked out in six and American Olympic Games Gold medal winner Sugar Ray Seales. These wins gave him a ranking among the top ten Middleweight challengers.

In 1977, he won the European Middleweight title by beating Germano Valsecchi by a knockout.. But in his next fight his winning streak ended when he lost to former world title challenger Ronnie Harris by a knockout. He regained his top ten challenger status by upsetting the former World Welterweight and Light Middleweight Champion Emile Griffith, in Monte Carlo, but then he lost his European title to Gratien Tonna by a knockout. He then fought Finnegan again and had a third win against him to retain his British title to close out 1977.

1978 was a sad year for him, although he won all three of his bouts, but one of his opponents died after the bout, due to injuries sustained in the bout. He finished his year by avenging his loss to Tonna the previous year with a six round knockout. In 1979, Minter won all four of his fights, two of them by knockout.

On 16 March 1980, in Las Vegas, he was given a shot at World Middleweight Champion Vito Antuofermo's title at the Caesars Palace. He won the title, by a 15 round decision and, in a rematch, he retained the world title by a TKO in eight rounds. His run as world champion came to an end on 27 September of that year, when he was stopped on cuts in three rounds to Marvin Hagler at Wembley Arena in London.

He beat fringe contender Ernie Singletary in London, in 1981, but after losses to future Hagler challengers Mustafa Hamsho in Las Vegas and Tony Sibson in London, he retired for good.

He left boxing with a record of 39 wins, 9 losses and 1 no contest, with 23 wins by knockout.
