But his attempt to get an injunction was thrown out by a court in Germany.
It ruled that the footage did not breach the three-time Wimbledon singles champion’s right to privacy.
Pocher’s prank was filmed in October 2020 for an RTL programme called Pocher: Dangerously Honest.
The comedian — who was married to Becker’s ex- fiancée, model Sandy Meyer-Wölden — raised £475 in donations for the bankrupt six-time Grand Slam winner with the slogan Make Boris Rich Again.
