 Bill Richmond 

Bill Richmond (1763 - December 28, 1829) was an American boxer, born a slave in Cuckold's Town (now Richmond Town), Staten Island, New York.

Richmond was the servant of a British general during the American Revolutionary War, who took him to England in 1777. He made his career as a boxer in England, where he died.

He was also a friend of Tom Molineaux[?], another freed slave who took up boxing in England.
