Minter was the son of Syd and Anne Minter. His father was a plasterer.<ref>https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/alan-minter-obituary-f6cr9cpjd</ref> He was born in [[Penge]], [[Bromley]], Kent, and his family moved to [[Crawley]] a large town between [[London]] and [[Brighton]] when he was a child.
 
== Amateur career ==
Minter took part at the 1970 European Junior Championships at the middleweight division, but in the very first fight he was stopped in the 2-nd round by [[Vyacheslav Lemeshev]] ([[Soviet Union|USSR]]).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://amateur-boxing.strefa.pl/Championships/EuropeanJuniorChampionships1970.html | title=1.European Junior Championships - Miskolc, Hungary - November 8-14 1970 }}</ref> Because Minter was the 1971 [[Amateur Boxing Association of England]] Middleweight Champion, he was selected to box for UK in the Olympics 1972.<ref name="SR"/> He won a bronze medal at the 1972 [[Munich]] [[Olympic Games]] in the [[light-middleweight]] classification, losing in the semifinal to [[Dieter Kottysch]] of West Germany by a 3-2 marginal decision which was hotly disputed.<ref name="SR">{{cite web| url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418041710/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/mi/alan-minter-1.html |title=Alan Minter Olympic Results|publisher=sports-reference.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418041710/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/mi/alan-minter-1.html|access-date=18 December 2018|archive-date=18 April 2020}}</ref> Kottysch went on to win the gold medal.<ref name="SR"/>

== Professional career ==
Minter began his professional career with 11 straight wins,<ref name="boxrec">{{cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/11467 |title=Alan Minter ID# 11467 |publisher=boxrec.com|access-date=9 August 2020}}</ref> the first against Maurice Thomas in London on 31 October 1972, winning by knock-outknockout in the 6th round.<ref name="PP">{{cite web|url=https://www.primeperformersagency.co.uk/alan-minter |title=Boxing Speakers - Alan Minter |publisher=primeperformersagency.co.uk|access-date=9 August 2020}}</ref>
Minter won his first five fights by knockout until 16 January 1973, when Pat Dwyer went the distance, Minter taking the fight on points.<ref name="boxrec"/> Minter won his next five fights, three by knockout,<ref name="boxrec"/> before being defeated for the first time after the referee stopped the fight in the eighth round against "Scottish" Don McMillan due to bad cuts suffered by Minter. Two more wins followed before facing Jan Magdziarz, who beat him twice in a row (once in the eighth and once in the sixth) again due to cuts.<ref name="boxrec"/>
 
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
1978 was a sad year for Minter, although he won all three of his bouts. On 15 February, at the [[Muhammad Ali]]–[[Leon Spinks]] I undercard in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas, Nevada]], he won his first bout in the United States by knocking out Sandy Torres in five.<ref name="boxrec"/> Then, he went to Italy once again to regain his European Middleweight title by knocking out Angelo Jacopucci in twelve rounds.<ref name="boxrec"/> Jacopucci died a few days afterwards, due to injuries sustained in the bout.<ref name="bbc"/> Minter finished his year by avenging his loss to Tonna with a six-round knockout.<ref name="boxrec"/>
 
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 [[Caesars Palace]]. He won the title by a 15-round split decision<ref name="PP"/> in which the judges' scorecards varied wildly. A Venezuelan judge had Minter losing the fight, while the British judge (Roland Dakin) had Minter winning 13 of the 15 rounds. In a rematch held three months later in London on 28 June, Minter retained the world title by a TKO in eight rounds.<ref name="boxrec"/>
On 27 September 1980, Minter's short run as world champion came to an abrupt end when he was stopped on cuts in the third round against 'Marvelous' [[Marvin Hagler]] at [[Wembley Arena]] in London.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/sep/10/alan-minter-british-boxing-great-who-became-world-champion-dies-aged-69|title=Alan Minter, British boxing great who became world champion, dies aged 69|date=10 September 2020|work=The Guardian|access-date=10 September 2020}}</ref> The fight was controversial owing to a perceived racialracist remark Minter made during the build-up, which Minter had later tried to qualifyclarify, and then by a crowd riot once the referee had agreed with Minter's corner that he was unable to continue, with chairs, bottles and glasses being hurled into the ring after the decision.<ref name="fight">{{cite web|url=https://www.thefightcity.com/sept-27-1980-hagler-vs-minter/ |title=Boxing Speakers - Alan Minter |publisher=thefightcity.com|date=27 September 2019}}</ref>
 
Minter beat fringe contender Ernie Singletary in London, in 1981,<ref name="boxrec"/> but after losses to future Hagler challengers [[Mustafa Hamsho]] in Las Vegas<ref name="boxrec"/> and [[Tony Sibson]] in London,<ref name="boxrec"/> he retired for good.<ref name="PP"/>
 
He left boxing with a record of 39 wins, 9 losses and 1 no contest, with 23 wins by knockout.<ref name="PPboxrec"/><ref name="boxrecPP"/>
