Richard "Richar" Abril (born 10 August 1982 in Cuba) is a Cuban professional boxer.

Most Cuban boxers have defected to go professional over the past few years amid considerable fanfare for outstanding amateur careers.

On October 22, 2011, Abril defeated Miguel Acosta by twelfth-round unanimous decision for the interim WBA Lightweight title.

After a proposed bout with Cuban superstar Yuriorkis Gamboa fell through, Brandon Rios agreed to face off with Abril on April 14, 2012 in Las Vegas for the vacant WBA lightweight title.

In a controversial split-decision, Rios maintained his winning streak despite most fans and analysts believing Abril comprehensively won the fight.
