WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AND AFTER THAT MATCH IN 1947?
The event, recorded as the most shocking experience in Sugar Ray’s career, took place on June 24, 1947.
He would fight against 22-year-old boxer Jimmy Doyle to defend his cruiserweight title. He jumped out of bed the day before the match, and in his dream he had knocked out Doyle in the 8th round, but Doyle was lying there in the middle of the ring, with his lifeless body, without moving. Sugar Ray, who was deeply affected by this terrible dream, gave up going to the match…
THE PRIEST AND THE MINISTER INVOLVED TO CONVINCE
However, the organizers, who invested a lot of money to make this match happen, brought in a priest and a minister to persuade him, and eventually they succeeded. In the 8th round of the match, Jimmy Doyle fell to the ground with a hard punch and lost consciousness. The young boxer was urgently taken to the hospital and died 17 hours later. Later, when he learned that Doyle wanted to buy a house for his mother with the money he would receive from the match, he sent the money he received from the four matches he played after this match to Doyle’s mother.
