Boris Becker's mother Elvira on early release: "Best Christmas present I could hope for"

The mother of Boris Becker is delighted about spending Christmas with her son after he will be deported to Germany this week.

The German will be released earlier from the UK prison he has been for the majority of this year and as part of a deal between countries, he'll be deported back home. Nobody is more happier about that than his mother who is delighted to have her son back home with her. A family friend carried over her words to the German media as she reportedly said:

“This is the best Christmas present I could hope for – I cannot wait to hold my beloved son in my arms."

The family friend further added:

"Elvira is simply overjoyed he is coming home. For her, having Boris out of prison and back home is the best thing imaginable – and for it to happen in time for Christmas will be great for her," a friend of the family said. "She was worried about when she might see him again, so this is all a huge deal for her - especially given her age.”
