Boris Becker has lost five of his six Grand Slam trophies and is appealing for the public's help to locate them.

The German, 50, wants to sell the trophies to pay off his debts after he was declared bankrupt in June 2017.

Two Australian Open trophies and three from Wimbledon are missing. He also is missing an Olympic gold medal.

"Mr Becker is unable to recollect where they are located," said a joint statement from Becker and his London-based bankruptcy trustees.

I'd like to know how much money he made in his career and how he managed to lose it all. This article says he was once worth 160million pounds but now he is 54 million pounds in debt with no way to pay it. He owes more in other countries where he owns property that he had work done on and didn't pay for. When you own expensive properties, the upkeep is substantial and there ren't a lot of people to sell them to, especially when they know you have to sell. Prices really drop.

But judge Christine Derrett said it was "with regret" she concluded there was a lack of credible evidence that his "substantial" debt would be paid soon, refusing to adjourn the case for another 28 days.

She said of 49-year-old Becker, who did not attend the hearing: "One has the impression of a man with his head in the sand."

The bankruptcy application was made by private bankers Arbuthnot Latham & Co in connection with a judgment debt owed to them by Becker dating as far back as 2015.

Tough shit. Zero sympathy for millionaires who end up broke.

How the fuck do you just lose a Wimbledon trophy?
 
He should hook up with Jimmy Conners and Andre Agassi for a remake of
"Two and a half Men" sitcom.

He may be hiding his trophies to avoid selling them.

I have a feeling he will magically "remember" and rediscover their location once his bankruptcy filing (with all of his assets counted) is completed.

He probably had a dinner party and served food on it. Someone probably wrapped up the leftovers on said place with foil and took it home
 
Women might have been a big part of his problems.
The father-of-four went on to rack up six grand slams and romanced a succession of beautiful women.

In 1999 he romped with waitress Angela Ermakova in the broom cupboard of London restaurant Nobu just hours after his pregnant first wife Barbara was rushed to hospital with contractions. The champ was consoling himself with a few drinks after losing a match a Wimbledon, but the bunk-up led to the birth of his third child.

A new way to avoid legal problems. Get a government to declare you a diplomat and claim diplomatic immunity.

"Former tennis champion Boris Becker is claiming diplomatic immunity against an attempt to sue him.

The three-time Wimbledon winner claims his appointment as a diplomat by the Central African Republic (CAR) affords him protection from any legal claims.

Mr Becker was declared bankrupt in 2017 over money owed to private bank Arbuthnot Latham. He is now being pursued for "further assets".

The conflict-ridden CAR is one of the world's poorest countries.

It made Mr Becker a sport and culture attache to the EU in April 2018."

He'll be fine because his name creates opportunities, much like with Tyson. He's had a couple of shows on German TV in recent years, but he does enjoy the upper class lifestyle.
