Imprisonment
Richard Towers (then known as Hayles) was imprisoned for 13 years after being part of a gang which inflicted three days of agony on a man who was held at gunpoint, and tortured with a steam iron, hammer and stun gun. He played no part in the man's ordeal but was involved in the kidnap which led to a £150,000 ransom demand. Towers served six and a half years before his release.
Amateur career
Towers has won all but one of his amateur fights whilst waiting to get a professional license. The license could not be granted until he finished his probationary period.
