webfact Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Speaking to Sat 1 host Steven Gätjen, Becker revealed how he had been attacked while in jail. IMAGE SOURCE: SAT.1/NADINE RUPP By Paul Kirby BBC NewsLess than a week after former Grand Slam tennis champion Boris Becker was freed after serving seven and a half months in a UK jail, he has spoken of his loneliness, his fears and the lessons he learned behind bars.

And some things happen for a good reason." Becker, 55, was jailed last April for two and a half years for hiding £2.5m (€2.9m; $3m) of his assets and loans to avoid paying his creditors.
