From Ray Robinson's wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Ray_Robinson)
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.[8] Before the fight, Robinson had a dream that he was going to accidentally kill Doyle in the ring.[20] As a result, he decided to pull out of the fight. However, a priest and a minister convinced him to go ahead with the bout. On the night of June 25th, Robinson dominated Doyle and scored a decisive knockout in the eighth round that knocked Doyle unconscious and resulted in Doyle's death that night.[20]
