Boris Becker claims that an inmate “tried to kill” him while he was serving time at Britain’s Wandsworth prison for illicitly transferring huge sums of money and hiding assets after declaring bankruptcy.
The six-time major champion and tennis Hall of Famer made the stunning revelation in an interview with German broadcaster Sat 1 that aired on Tuesday.
Becker, 55, said that an inmate named John was apparently unhappy that he’d made friends with black inmates. Becker also claimed the fellow prisoner tried to sexually assault him.
“I was shaking so bad,” Becker said when recalling the incident. “I shouted loudly and immediately the inmates came out and threatened him.”
Becker said that a group of about 10 inmates, most of them black, interjected and prevented him from being harmed.
