Richardson is taking a short breather from the ring before a five-week training camp in Sheffield as he looks to build towards Paris and what he views as “the greatest show in the world”.<\/p>\n
His brother Deacon has attended many of his fights and has no doubt that he has the quality to make a big impact on the Olympic tournament.<\/p>\n
He said: “He’s an Olympian forever, no-one can ever take that away. If he boxes to the best of his ability, he can go really, really far. I’ve never doubted him from day one.<\/p>\n
“We were watching the 2004 Athens Olympics – or it might have been 2008 – and to think that he could be there is just incredible.”<\/p>\n
Richardson will have to win five bouts to become Olympic champion – so how does he feel about his prospects?<\/p>\n
“I don’t like to think too much about my opponents, I just like to concentrate on myself and make sure I keep developing,” Richardson said.<\/p>\n
“I just need to make sure I’m smart in analysing my own game and make sure come the Olympic Games than I’m an even better than I already am.<\/p>\n
“I believe me performing at my best, I can go and win an Olympic medal and gold at that – the best is yet to come.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
