Robinson Plans to Quit in 1950 After Title Shot
Sugar Ray Robinson says he plans to wind up his boxing career in 1950 and hopes to challenge for the middleweight title before retiring. He notes ten years in professional boxing is long and the ring is rough and he wants one more big opportunity, preferably to relinquish the welterweight crown to go after Jake LaMotta. His five fights with LaMotta rank among his toughest career battles.
