Bankrupt tennis legend Boris Becker is selling his trophies amid claims his debts have hit £44million.
Boris, 49, hopes his silver gilt cups will net him over £1million and the move comes months after the German tennis legend, once worth £30million, was declared bankrupt over £3million he owed a bank.
His debts are said to have since soared. A Swiss ex-business partner has gone to court demanding £31million. The former ace was said to have reluctantly agreed to flog his trophies after accepting “the time for sentimentality has passed”. A source close to him said: “Boris needed to find cash fast. “Selling his precious Wimbledon trophies was deemed the quickest way.” Bad investments saw Becker’s fortune dwindle – and he paid millions to a Russian model he got pregnant in a London restaurant’s broom cupboard. Divorce from first wife Barbara cost him £10million. He was declared bankrupt in June and his £65,000 Maserati Ghibli S was carted away.
