«Breaking News» Boris Becker DROPS his claim to have diplomatic immunity from bankruptcy

Former world tennis number one Boris Becker has dropped his claim to have diplomatic immunity from bankruptcy.  

The 51-year-old was declared bankrupt in 2017 but had delayed court proceedings after the Central African Republic appointed him as an attache to the EU. 

The three-time Wimbledon champion had said the diplomatic appointment made him immune from bankruptcy proceedings. 

But he has now abandoned his case and his bankruptcy has been extended indefinitely, following a hearing in London.

It means a planned auction of his trophies and memorabilia, which was previously put on hold, will now go ahead.  

The latest setback for Becker comes just a day after his estranged wife Lilly slammed him on German TV saying he had 'grossly disappointed' her.  

His lawyers said the proposed sale was worth an estimated £200,000 and includes his 'most important sporting trophies' and 'highly personal memorabilia'.  

The collection includes a certificate commemorating his doubles gold medal win in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and a lot containing a sweater, wrist bands and socks.  

His claim of diplomatic immunity sparked a row in June when his lawyers said he was protected by the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. 

They claimed he could not be subjected to any legal proceedings without the consent of the Foreign Secretary - then Boris Johnson - and his counterpart in Bangui. 

Becker said he had a passport at the embassy in Brussels but the CAR foreign minister and a presidential spokesman denied that such a document existed.  

However a country's embassy in Brussels told a court Becker did have a passport, and a judge postponed the proceedings.  

Boris Becker and his wife Lilly, pictured together in Berlin in 2016, are embroiled in a divorce battle after they announced earlier this year that they were separating 

The embassy said Becker was 'in mission for our country and our embassy in the field of sport, culture and humanitarian affairs'. 

The tennis star and his estranged wife Lilly are also battling over money at a divorce court after announcing their separation earlier this year. 

Last night Mrs Becker slammed her estranged husband in an interview on German television, saying he had 'disappointed me beyond measure'. 

Lilly revealed that the only time she sees Boris is when he picks up their eight-year-old child, Amadeus, according to Bild. 

She said: 'Lilly and Boris Becker are not friends at the moment. Because he's so grossly disappointed me. 

'What makes it so bad is that it's all happening in public now. But I married a public figure, perhaps this is part of it. 

'I'm ashamed that we weren't able to deal with it privately and personally. I think we both made mistakes.'  

At a hearing at the Central Family Court in London in October Mrs Becker made an application for 'financial remedies' concerning the couple's money.

Today lawyers acting for the bankruptcy trustees told a specialist insolvency court in London that Becker has now dropped his claim to immunity.

Becker is said to have written in an email that he had 'no alternative but to abandon the claim for diplomatic immunity'. 

The tennis star also wrote that he was 'not in a position' financially to pursue any part of his case.  

Judge Schaffer, hearing the case, made an order which suspends the discharge of Mr Becker's bankruptcy indefinitely. 

Becker was declared bankrupt in June 2017 by Registrar Christine Derrett, who recalled watching him play on Centre Court.  

A 17-year-old Becker became the youngest ever men's singles champion at Wimbledon when he lifted the trophy in 1985. He won it again in 1986 and 1989. 

He collected 49 singles titles including six Grand Slam trophies in a career spanning more than two decades.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
