At regional level he held the British, Commonwealth and European super-middleweight titles between 2019 and September 2021.As an amateur Richards compiled a record of 91–9. He represented Ghana at the 2012 African Olympic Qualifier, losing in the quarter-final to Abdelmalek Rahou by 9:16.Richards made his professional debut on 29 September 2013, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory over Robert Studzinski at the York Hall in London. With four wins out of four fights under his belt, Richards had a two year absence from competitive bouts while waiting for his contract to expire with his current management team due to a dispute; his last fight being a PTS win over Darren McKenna in April 2014. In 2016, with his contract now expired, Richards signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. His return to the ring came on 24 October of that year, winning with a first-round technical knockout (TKO) against Gordan Glisic.He fought and won five times in 2017, ending the year with a fight against Rhys Pagan for the vacant WBO European super-middleweight title on 27 November at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel in London. Richards won the fight via ten-round unanimous decision (UD), with two judges scoring the bout 99–91 and the third scoring it 98–92.Following a six-round PTS victory over Chris Dutton in March 2018 – Richards' only fight of 2018 due to injury – he fought Tommy Langford on 27 April 2019 at the Wembley Arena, London, with the vacant WBO International, and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles on the line. Richards won by UD with the three judges scoring the bout 118–111, 118–110 and 116–113.
