Alan Minter fought for the British middleweight title against Kevin Finnegan three times, with each fight going the full 15 rounds (the first and third fights were for the vacant title, and this one was a defence for Minter). The challenger had won three fights in a row since losing his first bout with Minter a year earlier. The champion had 10 straight wins to his credit before this defence. All three fights between this pair were very close, and this second fight is generally considered the best of the trilogy,
