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.
