“Honestly: Boris Becker writes book about prison period

Boris Becker (57) spent 231 days in British prisons in 2022. The German tennis legend will provide information about the more than unusual time in his life in a new book. Becker has that. The “Inside” work is scheduled to appear on September 10 of this year. The details.

“Last year I allowed myself to dive deeply into one of the most painful experiences of my life. I was confronted with memories that I would rather forget with nightmares that still pursue me, and with feelings that I didn’t know whether I would survive. The writing was my attempt to cure and find a way to give the whole thing,” explains Becker in his book announcement. Now he was ready to share what has been experienced and suffered with his readers.

As is well known, the star was sentenced to a two and a half year prison sentence in London in April 2022. For around seven months of it he sat down in the prisons Wandsworth and Huntercombe.
