Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker recalled his time in prison during an interview with Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond on ITV’s This Morning on Tuesday, March 28. He was talking ahead of the release of the new Apple TV documentary, Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker.
In April 2022, the 55-year-old was sentenced by UK courts to two and a half years in prison for hiding assets and loans that the court required him to disclose to creditors and the bankruptcy trustee. Boris was subsequently released from prison in December of the same year.
“You have to survive prison life. Prison is dangerous and a really, really tough place,” Boris told Holly and Alison. “Every day is a survival. What happens in prison stays in prison.”
