Life After Boxing
Currently he resides in Littlehampton, England and tours the UK in autograph and lecture shows, alongside Jim Watt, another world boxing champion.
His son, Ross "The Boss" Minter, also competes in the welterweight division and is the current English and British (Southern Area) Welterweight Champion. His record stands at 17 wins (8 KO), 2 loss and 1 draw.
During the Lennox Lewis vs. Frank Bruno fight in October 1993, a beer can was thrown from the crowd, striking Alan Minter, much to the astonishment of the watching BBC commentators.
In a humorous moment on BBC's long-running quiz show A Question of Sport, Emlyn Hughes incorrectly identified Alan Minter as the sportsman disguised in the 'Mystery Guest' round. In fact, it was Sue Barker.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or boxing:
“Yes, as my swift days near their goal,
‘Tis all that I implore—
Through life and death, a chainless soul,
With courage to endure!”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
