Dixon died on January 6, 1908, not long after his last fight, in the alcohol ward of Bellevue Hospital. Dixon was living and begging on the streets of New York.
A recreation and community centre adjacent to Uniacke Square in Halifax is named in his honour. In 2021, Dixon was named a National Historic Person by the government of Canada, on the recommendation of the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board. The commemorative plaque is located at Africville Museum, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
