Becker back in court over TV prank

Boris Becker is taking a German comedian to court to stop a TV prank of him being duped into accepting cash being broadcast for a fake charity.

Becker was allegedly tricked into thinking he was getting an award for his fashion sense by comedian Oliver Pocher.

But the jailed former player and TV tennis pundit didn’t know the trophy was full of cash from a spoof fundraiser set up by Pocher called ‘Make Boris Rich Again’.

Becker wants to ban the comic from screening the episode of his popular show Pocher – Dangerously Honest.

The case is due to be heard at Offenburg District Court in Germany on July 26.
