2:57Now PlayingSix-time Grand Slam tennis champion Boris Becker has been sentenced to two years and six months in jail in London.
The 54-year-old German national, a former world No. 1 who has lived in the UK since 2012, was declared bankrupt in 2017 and convicted earlier this year on four charges under the UK's Insolvency Act, including concealing hundreds of thousands of euros and assets from investigators.
Since retiring from tennis in 1999, Becker has worked predominantly as a commentator and pundit in the United Kingdom for the BBC, but his earnings from the sport, estimated at about €45.2 million ($47.7 million), were swallowed up by an expensive divorce, child maintenance payments and "lifestyle commitments."
