CENTER TWP — Brian Minto will end his 14-year professional boxing career close to where it started.

The Butler heavyweight (41-11, 26 KOs) began his pro career with a knockout of Leroy Loscar in November of 2002 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. He will end it in the cruiserweight division as the main event of a pro-am fight card Aug. 27 at Kelly Automotive Park.

His opponent is yet to be determined.

“I hired a match-maker to determine that,” said Minto, 41, who is promoting the show. “There are other people putting the fight card together.

“I need to concentrate on me. My biggest emotion right now is the fear of getting my (butt) kicked in front of people in my hometown. That fear is making me work hard and train.

“I don’t want to look bad. I want to go out looking good, not making a joke of myself,” he added.
