"If anything it certainly humbled me" - Boris Becker about his time in prison

Boris Becker before his Insolvency Hearing

In April 2022, Boris Becker was sentenced to a 30-month prison term for concealing assets and unlawfully transferring large sums of money after being declared bankrupt. However, he has since expressed that his time behind bars has been a transformative experience.

Becker was granted early release through a fast-track deportation program designed for foreign nationals. Typically, he would be required to serve at least half of his sentence before being considered for release. However, due to his participation in the program, he was able to leave prison earlier than expected.

The six-time Grand Slam champion, who is prohibited from returning to Britain for the next decade, recently shared his prison experience in an interview with the BBC. He admitted that his younger self never fathomed being incarcerated, but the ordeal humbled him and taught him that the rules apply to everyone, regardless of status.

"I never thought at 17 I'd be incarcerated at 54. If anything it certainly humbled me, it certainly made me realise that whether you're called Boris Becker or Paul Smith, if you break the law, you get convicted and you get incarcerated, that goes for everybody," he said.

"I never expected the good and I certainly didn't expect the bad but I'm a survivor, I'm a tough cookie, I've taken the penalties, I've taken the incarceration," he said.

"But I've also taken the glory and if anything this made me a stronger, better man," he added. "With my decisions in the future you can see whether I have learned from it or I didn't."

Becker asserted that his time in prison had a profound impact on his character, making him a stronger and more resilient individual. He firmly believes that this experience will shape his future decisions and actions.
