Naazim Richardson - Biography
Naazim Richardson is an American boxing trainer most notable for training "Sugar" Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins, and for catching Antonio Margarito with a plaster-like substance in his handwraps prior to Margarito's fight with Mosley, leading to Margarito's eventual suspension from the sport of boxing.
Along with Hopkins, Mr. Richardson, 55, trained Shane Mosley, Karl Dargan, and Steve Cunningham, among others. He was Hopkins’ lead trainer when he upset light-heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver in 2006, and he helped Cunningham become a cruiserweight champion.
Richardson gained notoriety during Mosley's bout against Antonio Margarito in 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, as he objected to Margarito's hand wraps in the locker room. Eventually, Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo, would be forced to rewrap his fighters hands. Later on, it was ruled by the California State Athletic Commission that Margarito had illegal wraps, for which Margarito and Capetillo would be suspended.
