Boris Becker has shared all on his hellish spell in prison including death threats from murderers and the moment his world was collapsing.
The 55-year-old sat down with German TV station Sat TV and gave his first interview since regaining his freedom earlier this month. The chat also marked the first time the former world number one had been pictured since before he was sentenced in April to two-and-a-half years in jail after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act.
The six-time Grand Slam winner spent time at Wandsworth Prison before being transferred to HMP Huntercombe near Nuffield, Oxfordshire, in May. In a wide-ranging interview with the German media channel, aired last night, the former Wimbledon champion recalled a number of incidents while he was inside, including death threats, grim conditions and the dangerous environment inside.
