Boris Becker opened his time in the UK prison, becoming emotional as he thought about the experience. He spoke about how to adapt and learn many things just to survive and how these challenges taught him deeper lessons about life
Becker was closed in the UK in April 2022 for the concealment of £ 2.5 million in an attempt to avoid repayment of his debts after being bankrupt. Initially, he was sentenced to two and a half years. However, he was released after serving only eight months, thanks to the British “fast” scheme that allows early deportation of certain foreign nationals.
During the recent interview with Sports illustratedGerman said:
“Every crisis I survived in my life was positive; I have always learned more than my defeats than from my victories. But this was certainly a very existential crisis, which was important to find myself again. Like before Wimbledon in 1986. I was in a sports crisis and decided to do what I believe is right.”
The six-time Grand Slam champion shared it in prison, none of his titles, glory or wealth had no value; He was just another person. What really matters, he said, was his “personality”, and at the end he tilted to go through experience.
“Even during that time in prison, I found myself again,” Boris Becker. “I had no other choice. When you lose everything – your freedom, family, money, house, your house – the only thing that remains is your personality, your character. And I withdrew that. My inner I have always been my refuge in difficult times.”
Becker is currently forbidden to enter the United Kingdom in the next 10 years.
During interviews 2023. With BBC radio 5 liveBoris Becker is honest because of his prison, describing the experience as extremely sharp. He said that his prison was “very brutal” and made it clear that everyone who claims otherwise had no idea what it really was.
Becker said:
“Who says that life in prison is not difficult and not difficult, I think it lies. It was a very brutal, very, very different experience in what you see in movies, what you heard from stories.”
German added that his time in prison was a period in which he had to fight every day for survival, even forcing ties with the killers and other harden criminals to protect themselves. However, he did not speak of the experience with the bitterness, but said that he was ultimately a better man.
“You fight for survival every day. Quickly, you have to surround yourself with hard boys, to call it because you need protection,” Becker said
“I survived; I’m a hard cookie. I boarded prison, but I also took fame, and if nothing else, this made me a stronger, better man,” he added.
Currently, Boris Becker seems to enjoy life to the greatest extent. For the third time, he tied a knot in September last year with his wife Lillian and now runs a happy and populated life. He also remained involved in the tennis world, regularly offering insight into the players he supports.
