Adam Richards (born November 26, 1980) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2001 to 2010, challenging for the WBO cruiserweight title in 2010.
He co-holds with Mike Tyson the record of winning two consecutive Junior Olympic heavyweight titles by knocking out every opponent.
Coming from his 19-fight winning streak, in November 2008 he fought heavyweight prospect Chazz Witherspoon in Nashville in a thrilling fight that ended with Richards' defeat via TKO in the eighth round.
The referee made a strange decision of calling Richards' first fall, after being pushed by Huck, a knockdown.
[5] Richards later criticized Huck due to reported elbows he suffered through the fight.
