“British boxing legend and former world champion Alan Minter has died at the age of 69.
Minter, who won a bronze medal at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, claimed the undisputed world middleweight title against Italian Vito Antuofermo in Las Vegas in 1980.
After he won a rematch against Antuofermo, Minter lost the title to Marvin Hagler inside three rounds at Wembley Arena later that year.
Minter had been suffering from cancer.
He experienced tragedy during his career, when Italian Angelo Jacopucci died as a result of injuries sustained in their European title fight in 1978.“
I met Alan in January 1995 or 1996 when I collected him from Neath Railway station and drove him to the hotel where he would be speaking that night at a Neath RFC dinner. I then sat next to him through the dinner.
He spoke about his career - slipped in a few anecdotes but thankfully never tried to be a comic.
He enjoyed the event so much that when the comedian who spoke after him had finished his routine, he insisted on saying a few more words. Understandably, no one tried to stop him
RIP
