Spinks had two hundred amateur bouts and was the 1956 ABA flyweight champion, turning professional in April 1957 with a bout against Jim Loughrey at Harringay Arena, North London, which he won on a stoppage for a cut eye. In September 1960 he won the British featherweight title in a bout against Bobby Neill at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in the seventh round due to cuts suffered by Neill. Spinks won the title re-match in November 1960 at the Empire Pool, Wembley by knocking Neill down three times in the fourteenth round and Neill being counted out. The British featherweight title was lost to Howard Winstone in a bout in May 1961 at the Empire pool, on a technical knockout in the tenth round. He continued boxing but never contested for the title again. He won his last bout against Johnny Mantle in December 1962 and became a trainer and coach on retirement, going on to coaching the South Korean team in the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics.
