Upon his arrival in Germany, Boris Becker sat down with a broadcaster and shared a chilling story, per the New York Post. The tennis Hall-of-Famer claimed that while he was in prison, a fellow inmate tried to sexually assault and kill him. The prisoner had apparently been upset that Becker had befriended Black inmates. Becker told the broadcaster that he had called for help and he was saved by a group of inmates.
“I was shaking so bad. I shouted loudly and immediately the inmates came out and threatened him,” Becker revealed. He also recounted another prisoner trying to kill him after he got transferred to another area of the prison. Besides the threat of being harmed, the athlete shared that his time behind bars was the first time he had ever experienced hunger.
