The son of boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, Robinson grew up distant from his father, who divorced his mother shortly before his birth.[2] Sugar Ray advised Ronnie not to follow him into the world of boxing.[3] After watching roller derby on television, he decided to join the sport,[2] and enrolled in its training school in March 1958, initially under the pseudonym "Ronald Smith." He turned professional after five months,[6] being placed on the New York Chiefs team.[4] Robinson was the third African American to play roller derby professionally, after George Copeland and Darlene Anderson. He was a member of the All-Star team for more than ten consecutive years, and was twice named the Most Valuable Player.[5] On one occasion, Robinson fractured his arm in several places, and was unsure whether he would ever be able to use it again.[3] He also lost his front teeth in a fight with Bob Woodbury, and suffered several concussions.[5] In 2004 Robinson was inducted to the Roller Derby Hall of Fame.[6] {{start box}}{{s-sport}}{{succession box|title=International Roller Derby League Male MVP[7]|years=1968|before=Ken Monte|after=Tony Roman}}{{end box}}References1. ^Bill Gallo, "These Debates Can Be Hair-Raising", New York Daily News, 22 April 2001. {{DEFAULTSORT:Robinson, Ronnie}}2. ^1 2 {{page needed|date=November 2011}} Herb Royd and Ray Robinson, Pound for Pound: A Biography of Sugar Ray Robinson. 3. ^1 Chester Higgins, "People Are Talking About", Jet, 4 February 1971, p. 42. 4. ^"Sugar Ray's Skating Son", Ebony, October 1960, p. 65. 5. ^1 2 "The Old Brawl Game", Ebony, November 1973, pp. 56-62. 6. ^"Events & Inductees". rollerderbyhalloffame.com.
