In June 1947, after four non-title bouts, Robinson was scheduled to defend his title for the first time in a bout against [[Jimmy Doyle (boxer)|Jimmy Doyle]]. Robinson initially backed out of the fight because he had a dream that he was going to kill Doyle. A priest and a minister convinced him to fight. His dream ended up becoming a reality.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/sugar-ray-robinson-and-his-disturbing-death-dream-the-sad-case-of-jimmy-doyle/125707|title=Sugar Ray Robinson And His Disturbing Death Dream: The Sad Case Of Jimmy Doyle|accessdate=2023-01-25|website=BOXING NEWS 24/7|date=August 21, 2019 }}</ref> On June 25, 1947, Robinson dominated Doyle and scored a decisive knockout in the eighth round that knocked Doyle unconscious and resulted in Doyle's death later that night.<ref name="Answers"/> Robinson said that the impact of Doyle's death was "very trying".<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.sportscasting.com/sugar-ray-robinson-had-a-disturbing-dream-he-killed-someone-in-the-boxing-ring-then-it-came-true/ | title=Sugar Ray Robinson Had a Disturbing Dream He Killed Someone in the Boxing Ring — then It Came True | newspaper=Sportscasting &#124; Pure Sports | date=April 13, 2020 | last1=Thomas | first1=Mike }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/sportscentury/features/00016440.html |title="A brooding genius" |work=ESPN |last=Schwartz |first=Larry |access-date=November 4, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://wafflesatnoon.com/sugar-ray-robinson-dream/ | title=Did Sugar Ray Robinson Dream He Would Kill an Opponent? | date=April 6, 2015 }}</ref>

After Doyle's death, criminal charges were threatened against Robinson in Cleveland, up to and including murder, though none actually materialized. After learning of Doyle's intentions of using the bout's money to buy his mother a house, Robinson gave Doyle's mother the money from his next four bouts so she could purchase herself a home, fulfilling her son's intention.<ref>Robinson's biographer [[Wil Haygood]] stated during a September 25, 2010, book festival appearance that Doyle was pushing himself to fight to "buy his mother a house" and after Doyle's death in 1947, Robinson gave the earnings of his next four fights to Doyle's mother, so she could buy that house."</ref><ref name=WHB>[[Wil Haygood]], Book TV, September 2010</ref>
