Un club d'Amsterdam (document en anglais)

In the year 2010 he was associated with physical abuse of a bouncer of a club in Amsterdam. This didn't lead to a conviction, yet.[16]

In the year 2012 the owner of a club in Amsterdam, Jeroen van de Berg, filed a report of physical abuse against Badr Hari. The abuse happened a year before at Club Air. The investigation is still ongoing.[17]

After Sensation White, a Dutch dance party in the Amsterdam Arena, Hari came again in the news. The alleged reason is, because he severely abused Dutch entrepreneur Koen Everink. The case is still under investigation.[18]

On 25 July 2012, Hari voluntarily went to the police in Amsterdam. Now he is officially marked as a suspect for in total of six cases, and his detainment was prolonged several times (14 days & 90 days).[19]

Late October 2012, an indictment was handed to Hari in his holding cell, which contained nine criminal charges against Hari: eight crimes of violence and one moving violation.[20] The moving violation relates to an incident in March 2010, when a pedestrian sustained injuries. The eight crimes of violence are: attempted manslaughter of Koen Everink, two assaults in night club Club Air, the assault of the brother of an ex-partner in bar Cooldown, an assault in club Jimmy Woo, an assault of two people including a woman in July 2011, and the assault of a doorman in 2010.[20]

Kickboxing career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Under Harinck's coaching, Hari suffered few losses. In 2003 he replaced Melvin Manhoef with only a few days notice, to fight Alexey Ignashov. Hari, outweighed by more than 18 kg, lost the fight by knockout (body punch), but gained a lot of respect for stepping up to such an opponent under those circumstances.

In January 2005, Hari left the Chakuriki Gym and joined Simon Rutz's It's Showtime team. After a few months' training at the Mejiro Gym he returned to Harinck's, but left again a couple of weeks later. Since then he has been coached by Mike Passenier, who has also trained Joerie Mes, Bjorn Bregy and Melvin Manhoef.

Road to K-1[edit]

Hari's road to fame began with a pair of matches against Stefan Leko in 2005. The first took place at the It's Showtime 2005 event in June 2005. Hari, who was generally known for his big mouth and slow ring entrance started some trash talk between them before the fight, making the hype even greater. Hari's long ring entrance took longer than the actual fight, where Hari was knocked out by Leko's trademark spinning back kick.

Hari got his chance for revenge in November 2005 when he entered the K-1 World Grand Prix 2005 tournament as a reserve fighter against Leko, making his K-1 World GP debut at the age of 20.[21] Hari knocked Leko out by a spinning back high kick to the jaw at 1:30 in the second round.[22] After all the bad blood between both fighters, Hari helped his opponent up and escorted the dazed German to the corner.
