Boris Becker: Surviving Prison, My Truth & Rebuilding Life (E371)

It's one of the worst places probably in the world. Whoever says prison is easy is lying. I was in my room for 22 hours for five weeks. And and I ask him, what what are you doing in Excel? Then he started being aggressive.

I'm thinking he's about to hurt me. I mean people today get killed in prison. People wrote so much rubbish of what I supposedly have done. I feel like for too long other people have spoken on my behalf. That is no longer the case.

What happens? when the world stops cheering? That's the question we explore today with legendary tennis player Boris Becker, Wimbledon champion at just seventeen, global icon for much of his life, and a man who spent two hundred and thirty days in a British prison. This is his first full interview on what really happened. And this is not just how he ended up behind bars, but it's also how he survived it, how losing everything forced him to face who he really was.
