The son of boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, Robinson grew up distant from his father, who divorced his mother shortly before his birth. Sugar Ray advised Ronnie not to follow him into the world of boxing.

He turned professional after five months, being placed on the New York Chiefs team. Robinson was the fourth African American to play roller derby professionally, after Maurice Plummer, 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. On one occasion, Robinson fractured his arm in several places, and was unsure whether he would ever be able to use it again. He also lost his front teeth in a fight with Bob Woodberry, and suffered several concussions. In 2004 Robinson was inducted to the Roller Derby Hall of Fame. (en)
