Ross Minter Ross Minter Ross Minter (born 10 November 1978) is a professional boxer. Ross Minter is the son of Alan Minter, the former World Middleweight Champion. Minter began boxing professionally in 2001. In his career, he has faced a mixed bag of competition—some legitimate contenders, some who were nothing more than professional opponents. He lost a fight against American boxer Freddy Curiel in "", getting knocked out in the last round of a fight he was winning. On 2 February 2008, he lost by technical knockout to Michael Jennings in a title bout for the World Boxing Union world welterweight crown.
Alan Minter out Maurice Thomas in six rounds. Minter won five fights in a row by knockout and, in 1973, Pat Dwyer became the first boxer to go the distance with him, over eight rounds in London. Minter won his next five fights, three by knockout, before tasting defeat for the first time after the referee stopped the fight in the eighth round to "Scottish" Don McMillan due to bad cuts suffered by Minter. Two more wins followed before facing Jan Magziarz, who beat him twice in a row (once in the eighth and once in the sixth) again due to cuts.
