Badr Hari has been a striking fighter since the start of his career. Unfortunately, this was not always just because of his skills in the ring. Badr Hari has struggled with uncontrolled outbursts of anger his entire life. According to the media, these outbursts have also prevented him from truly reaching his full potential in his career.
I have a certain aggression inside me that I don’t know what to do with. I really hate my opponent when I fight him.
Badr Hari searched for himself
The ruthless K1 fighter Badr Hari decided in mid-2014 to retreat to Morocco to find himself again. A few years later, he shared in the program 'KRO’s Profiel' how the months of isolation had gone for him.
I can still explode... at any moment. When my brakes go off, it’s not just my head, but my whole body. It’s one big explosion, with a lot of noise and chaos. Then I don’t see anything anymore. It’s like a storm with force 10 winds, a hurricane, or even a disaster. That aggression is inside me and I have to find a way to deal with it, to channel it. How exactly to do that, I don’t know yet either.
Aggression of Badr Hari
Despite the great successes Badr Hari has achieved in his career, he has also made some serious mistakes. He says he saw himself above others. This was partly due to the luxurious life he lived and how he was treated by others. The fighter let himself go so much in the ring that he kicked or punched his opponent several times even after the whistle had blown. He also got into trouble for delivering blows outside the ring in his private life. As a result, he received community service.
Although it is (not yet) officially confirmed, it seems he will not return to the ring. Badr Hari has won many titles and successes, but despite that, he will be remembered by the general public as someone who could not control himself.
