Throughout his career, he was trained by the late boxing coach Ronnie Rush.
Ruben Palacios of Colombia was due to defend his Featherweight title against John Davison of England at Washington, England on April 17, 1993.
However, soon before the fight, the champion failed an HIV test administered by the BBBC, prompting the WBO to strip him of his championship.
The promoters had only two days to find a replacement to fight Davison. Steve Robinson bravely stepped in and grabbed the opportunity to compete for the WBO championship.
Against all odds, Robinson emerged triumphant in the battle, winning on points. As a result, he became the new WBO World Featherweight Champion and became a worthy titleholder by successfully defending his title seven times.
He defended his championship for the final time on September 30, 1995, against Prince Naseem Hamed of Sheffield, England. Hamed dominated the battle and knocked out Steve Robinson in the eighth round, ending his tenure as champion.
