Boris Becker “humbled” by “brutal” spell in prison

Boris Becker has told ѿý Radio 5 Live Breakfast he's been “humbled” by his time in prison, and hopes to return to the UK in future.

The three-time Wimbledon champion was released and deported in December, after serving eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.

His life story is told in a new documentary on Apple TV+ called ‘Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker’.

He told Chris Warburton he accepts his punishment, despite the judge in his case saying he had shown ‘no remorse’ for his crimes.
