Former German tennis champion Boris Becker has been transferred to a prison housing foreign nationals in Britain, an indication he may be deported.

The judge also said at sentencing that "it was notable that he had not shown remorse or humility." Becker could be deported because British law allows for any foreign national convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence to be considered for deportation. An inspection of Huntercombe in 2017 discovered 185 of the 197 men held at the prison then had been deported.

BORIS BECKER was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison in April.

It is the latest sign that Becker faces deportation from the United Kingdom following his sentencing. Wandsworth Prison, which is just two miles from Wimbledon’s centre court where Becker first won aged 17, is a Category B prison. The 54-year-old was detained at Wandsworth Prison upon his sentencing on April 30.
