Marsh was forced to remove himself from politics soon after, as he was charged with fraud and deception for allegedly having fraudulently claimed two student grants after going back to university at the end of his boxing career. He was later cleared of the offence.

He has since written and published his autobiography 'Undefeated'.

Despite the colourful nature of his life after boxing Terry Marsh deserves to be remembered as one of the finest boxers Britain has produced.
