Boris Becker to join Netflix reality show after getting discharged from bankruptcy
Boris Becker is reportedly joining a reality show on Netflix. Former Wimbledon Championships and US Open winner Becker will reportedly take part Netflix reality show "Bear Hunt", as per a report on Mirror.
«Bear Hunt» will be hosted by Holly who is a former «This Morning» star. Popular adventurer Bear Grylls will also be part of the show.
Becker rose to stardom in 1985 at the age of 17 when he became the first unseeded player to win the Wimbledon singles title. He went on to become the world No. 1 player, winning two titles at Wimbledon, two at the Australian Open and one at the US Open. He retired from professional tennis in 1999 and worked as a coach, television commentator, investor and celebrity poker player.
56-year-old German tennis legend was discharged from bankruptcy court in London after a judge found Wednesday he had done “all that he reasonably could do” to repay creditors tens of millions of pounds.
Becker fell far short of repaying his creditors nearly 50 million pounds ($62.5 million) he owed, but Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs said it would be “perverse” not to end the case given the efforts Becker made.
Becker was deported to Germany two years ago after serving 8 months in a London prison for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding 2.5 million pounds ($3.1 million) in assets after he was declared bankrupt in 2017.
He had been convicted in a London court on four charges under the Insolvency
