Badr Hari is a Moroccan-Dutch super heavyweight kickboxer and a former K-1 Heavyweight champion. As of October 2016, he was ranked No.10 heavyweight in the world by Combat Press. However, his violent behavior, his vulgar display of power and his unsportsmanlike conduct have come in his way of becoming a successful athlete, as he was disqualified from matches several times, and was arrested on several occasions. He himself has admitted that he is an explosive and aggressive man, and can explode at any moment. Officially praised by the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, for his excellent achievements in the sport, he has been nicknamed the 'Golden Boy'. His passion and determination have taken him from his native Amsterdam to many places around the world. The boy—who was sent to learn kickboxing at the age of seven to be able to defend himself from the bullies in the neighborhood—has till date clinched more than 100 wins in his kickboxing career. He has even beaten giants like Semmy Schilt, Gokhan Saki, Peter Aerts, and Stefan Leko! However, as of 2017, his career seems to be on a standstill as he has been recently convicted of assault and sentenced to serve a prison term.
