The imprisoned tennis legend Boris Becker gives the other inmates lessons in sports science. But some are not exactly enthusiastic about it. They evaluate the new task of the 54-year-old as a clear celebrity bonus.
Boris Becker is currently serving his sentence at Huntercombe Prison, west of London. How does he pass the time there? According to the British “Sun”, the 54-year-old has now been appointed “class assistant” and is allowed to teach other inmates sports science. Lessons include the benefits of exercise and healthy eating.
Now one might think that Becker’s comrades in fate would be happy about the shared knowledge of the ex-tennis star. But the opposite should be the case. Becker’s new job is said to cause resentment among the other prisoners.
A source told The Sun: “Others would take years to get this job. But he got the job a few weeks after his conviction. There is a lot of resentment about this and letters of grievance have been written by the families of some prisoners.”
At the end of April, Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for delaying bankruptcy. However, a lawyer believes that Boris Becker’s deportation from Great Britain to Germany is very likely. This could already be possible after 15 months in prison.
