JAILED ex-tennis champ Boris Becker has shed a stone and is teaching inmates how to keep fit.
The shamed star’s lawyer said he is thriving in clink.
Becker is serving 2½ years for fraudulently hiding £2.5million of assets to avoid paying debts.
He has been at HMP Huntercombe near Henley, Oxfordshire, since May.
The six-time Grand Slam winner’s lawyer Oliver Moser told German media: “Our client Boris Becker is still doing well given the circumstances and he fits constructively into everyday prison life.”;
Becker, 54, is said to have his own private cell and his behaviour has been described as impeccable.
A close friend said: “He’s popular with his fellow inmates.”;
According to the source, since starting his sentence, Becker works out in the gym and has shed around 18lb.
The Sun told in July he had been made a classroom assistant teaching sport science.
And a person close to Becker said he teaches 45 inmates fitness, nutrition, crisis management, and a special type of yoga and meditation.
The source added: “As an athlete, he knows his way around victories and defeats.
“He shares his life experience with his fellow inmates.”;
Becker’s “job”; is said to be part of a bonus programme within the jail.
The more the inmates get involved, the more positive it is for their sentences.
