ITVX tells the dramatic inside story in The Rise and Fall of Boris Becker
The two-part series will use exclusive interviews with those who know Becker the best, including other tennis champions.
Never before seen personal and family archives will help build a picture of who Becker is and how he went from three-time Wimbledon champion, and one of the world’s greatest sporting stars, to sitting in Wandsworth prison guilty of hiding assets to avoid paying back debts.
The highly publicised bankruptcy trial found Becker guilty of concealing £2.5m worth of assets, which led to his prison sentence of two and a half years.
