Brian Minto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Matthew Minto, born January 27, 1975 in Butler, Pennsylvania, is an American boxer.

Minto turned pro in 2002 and won his first 18 bouts gaining the West Virginia heavyweight boxing title, albeit against marginal competition, to set up a 2004 bout with former champion Tony Tubbs. The inactive Tubbs won in a mild upset, stalling Minto's progress. Minto is regularly featured on ESPN fight cards, and is probably best known for his two exciting TKO's over Vincent Maddalone. In November 2006, Minto scored an upset win (TKO in the sixth round) over Axel Schulz, foiling the German's comeback attempt. His current record is 27-2. Minto lost to one-time contender Luan Krasniqi March 17 in Germany.
