RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

2010

26 September, 2010 - thesickness | 0 Comments

His first fight in 2010 Hari defended his Showtime heavyweight title with a second round knockout over Mourad Bouzidi.

In April Hari defeated Alexey Ignashov in the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 in Yokohama. The fight went to decision, Hari's first non-knockout win in 3 years.

Hari's Showtime title was again on the line against Hesdy Gerges in Amsterdam in May. Hari dominated most of the first round, hitting Gerges many times and having him on the ropes. Despite this Hesdy surprised everyone on the night for taking the punishment and refusing to go down, he stayed on his feet and did not go down once. This frustrated Badr, who kicked Gerges in the face when he was trying to stand up after a slip leaving him lying on the canvas. Badr was again disqualified and did not speak in the ring after Gerges was announced the winner. Instead, training partner Melvin Manhoef apologized to the fans on Badr's behalf but was booed by the crowd who were more happy when Badr was disqualified and Gerges became the new "Its Showtime" Heavyweight champion

In May 2009 Hari fought Semmy Schilt in a long-awaited bout for the newly introduced It's Showtime World Heavyweight title. Hari came out very aggressively and knocked Schilt down twice in the first round. The fight was stopped after the second knockdown and Hari took the heavyweight title in 42 seconds.

At the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final 16 Hari again used his trademark right body shot to score a first round knockout over Zabit Samedov.

At the selection for the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final Hari chose to fight Ruslan Karaev for the third time. He ran through the tournament with first round knockouts over Karaev and Alistair Overeem in a rematch, to make it to the World Grand Prix Final for the second year against Semmy Schilt. In their rematch Hari lost by KO after being knocked down 3 times in the first round.
