‘No One Gives a S**T’ – Boris Becker Narrates Horrendous Prison Experience as He Dishes Out the Ugly Side of Fame

Boris Becker, the former tennis player, recently narrated his prison ordeal in an exclusive interview. Becker said during his trial that debts and payments drained his career earnings during an expensive divorce. The former German tennis star was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for violating the terms of his bankruptcy in 2017.

Becker was allowed to return to Germany recently via a special program that allows foreign nationals jailed in UK prisons to be moved to their country. Following his return, the former coach of Novak Djokovic sat down for an interview with a renowned German broadcaster to talk about his life in prison.

Boris Becker shares horrendous details on how his fame affected prison life

Becker has opened up about his horrible prison experience for the first time since his release and return to Germany. The German only brought back family photos because he was so desperate to get out of jail. He gave away his stuff to other inmates, like his clothes, shoes, and books.

In his first interview since his release, the 55-year-old talked about the challenging time spent incarcerated. The Guardian reported that while Becker was a prisoner, no one used his first name, and “no one gave a s**t” about the fact that he was a tennis champion. Nevertheless, he continued by saying that throughout his 231 days in jail, he had used the time to think about his life and find his human side.

Becker completed eight months of his two-and-a-half-year sentence at HM Prisons. The German said in his interview, “You are only a number(inside a prison). Mine was A2923EV. I wasn’t called Boris, I was a number. And nobody gives a s**t who you are.”
