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 The Contender Challenge: UK vs. USA, 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.[1]

Minter retired as a fighter in 2008 and later became boxing promoter.[2]

Minter is trained by John Eames and Peter Swinney at the TKO Gym in Canning Town in London.

Met him on holiday when the Yoga coach didn't turn up in the hotel. He took over the class for us. Excellent professional and a good character, works out still and keeps his sons fit too.

He supports the Advance Centre for The Scotson Technique charity.[3]
