ย In this episode of History Ignited, we dive into the story of Sugar Ray Robinson, one of the greatest boxers of all time, as mentioned in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. Born Walker Smith Jr., Robinson revolutionized the sport of boxing with his speed, power, and "sweet as sugar" fighting style. Beyond the ring, he made a lasting impact as a civil rights advocate, using his platform to speak against racial injustice. Tune in to learn about his legendary rivalry with Jake LaMotta, his life outside of boxing, and his enduring influence on sports and societyย
