Becker opens up in tell all interview after prison release: “You are nobody in prison”

Boris Becker made it safely to Germany and he gave the highly anticipated tell-all interview speaking about how it was to spend 8 months in a UK prison.

Becker was put in prison earlier this year after being found guilty of several counts. The German endured part of his 2-and-a-half-year sentence but was released recently due to being a foreign national. He was deported from the UK with a ban to enter the country in place until the prison sentence doesn't expire.

Upon arriva, Becker gave a tell-all interview to German Station SAT.1:

"You are nobody in prison. You are just a number. Mine was A2923EV. I wasn't called Boris. I was a number. And they don't give a fu*** who you are."

Spending time in prison helped Becker rediscover the person he used to be because he lost that part of himself:

"I think I rediscovered the person I used to be. I learned a hard lesson. A very expensive one. A very painful one. But the whole thing has something important and good for me learned. And some things happen for a good reason."

On his released, Becker added:

"I sat on the edge of my bed from six in the morning and hoped that the cell door would open. They came at half past seven, unlocked the door and asked: Are you ready? I said: ' Here we go!' I had already packed everything."
