He was born on the east side of Youngstown, where he launched his amateur career in the late 1960s. In 1974, Richardson was the National AAU and National Golden Gloves flyweight champion.

Richardson's professional career peaked in February 1991, when he scored an upset victory over Raul Perez and won the WBC bantamweight title. Trained by Earl Charity, Richardson's quick reflexes were credited with earning him a 12-round unanimous decision over Perez, who held the title for almost 28 months.cite news
