Former world middle weight champion has left the ring.....

Aged 69, cancer eventually beat him.
 
Great fighter, and seemed a genuine guy, unlike many of the hyped up celeb's of the modern day. RIP hard man.
 
I used to live in one of the houses that Alan Minter lived in Crawley, West Sussex around 1982-87 and the wood panelling in the lounge was full of holes where he nailed his Lonsdale Belt onto the wall/ It was apparently so heavy the belt kept pulling the nails out of the wood. His dad was a bit of a thug and always in trouble (Drink related)
