From the way he stood, you could tell that if you looked into his eyes too long, he was going to do something. He looked calm, not like a man who could kill you...
Boris Becker befriended a team of "bodyguards" to protect him behind bars, the former Wimbledon champion has revealed. He spent eight months in prison in 2022.
Boris Becker has revealed how he befriended a cocaine boss and an Albanian murderer to protect him in prison.
The tennis ace was arrested in April 2022 after being found guilty of hiding £2.5 million during bankruptcy proceedings.
The 57-year-old, who served 8 months of his two-and-a-half-year sentence, has told how he spent his days terrified of other prisoners.
Boris was shaken by screams in the moldy cells of Wandsworth Prison.
He then moved to Huntercombe, where he befriended some fearsome names, including a Lithuanian nicknamed 'Little Hulk'.
In his autobiography, “Inside,” Boris said that “this time I was in a cell at the end of the corridor, and in the cell on the right was a big, serious-looking guy. There was an aura of danger about him.”
“'His name is Ike,' Baby Hulk told me when we saw him at the gym later that day.
"'Big drug dealer, cocaine, hard stuff. He was all over the world. London, Nigeria, Germany. He's done 12 years now. He's in the gym twice a day now.'"
Boris said he spent time watching Ike and developed a friendship with him after asking him about his workouts.
"This was the beginning of a careful trust that was created between us and with a little boy called Shuggy, whose cell was on the other side of mine," the former tennis star says.
"A Sri Lankan man imprisoned for violence and gang membership also enjoyed the gym. He prayed several times a day in front of a small altar in his cell," he says.
Boris also became friends with Aleks, an Albanian drug trafficker who had killed two men with a knife.
“The way he stood, you could tell that if you looked him in the eye too long, he was going to do something. He looked calm. Not like a guy who could stab two people in the street,” Becker says. He adds, “Alex talked to me more when he saw that Ike and Shuggy were trusting me, and one afternoon I asked him what he was going to do when he got out.”
"Boris, we're drug dealers. When I'm out, I'm going back to my job. That's what I'm going to do," he replied, the former tennis star recounts.
The talented tennis player was released in December 2022 and deported to Germany by UK authorities. /Adapted from Daily Star/
