Robbie Robinson was a multi-talented, intelligent fighter from Windsor who sparred with some of the top-ten professional heavy-weights in the world. Not only did his size and discipline lead him to the sport of boxing, but Robinson also earned a black belt and competed in several tough-man contests. Robbie's keen intellect also led him to a degree in criminology; however, Robbie never reached his full potential. In 1990 Robbie Robinson was tragically murdered leaving behind a wife, a young son, and countless loved ones in the sport of boxing and beyond.
