With Badr Hari facing serious jail-time, K1 has tapped kickboxing veteran Sing Jaideep as his replacement.

I can’t help but think how disappointing this whole change of events is. Jaideep doesn’t even have a tenth of the star power that Badr possesses.

Yet it might be those very qualities that have made Badr a star, that are also the qualities that cause his constant demons.

People are rarely one perfect package, and while Badr’s ferocity and charisma in the ring are unmatched, its obvious that outside the ring he can’t keep those emotions or feelings in check.

As a result, he has let down himself, K1, his fans who love him so much, and even others like Mike Passenier and Naazim Richardson.

While Badr Hari sits in jail, his ex-girlfriend Chantal Oornink looks like she’s having a good time. I can’t help but think she must be glad to not be part of his drama anymore.

The new owner of K1, Mike Kim, claims that Badr Hari, will still be part of the Final 16. Personally, I believe that Mike Kim very well knows that Hari’s kickboxing career is the least of his worries right now. I highly doubt Badr Hari will be competing in the K1 tournament. I believe Kim is only saying this, because he doesn’t want to squash any momentum K1 has going for them in staging this legendary tournament.

Still, it’s interesting to note that it appears that Badr still has Kim and K1’s support - at least for now.

Original Article

Badr Hari will be in police custody for 90 days, which is reserved only for people who have a lot of evidence against them. This means that there is no way he will be able to compete in K1’s next event in October.

K1 has invested a lot in Badr Hari, and it seems at this point it has all come to nil. Badr Hari has been in this kind of trouble before, but has always seemed to escape serious jail-time. This time, however, the victim is an internet millionaire, and cannot be payed off like perhaps previous victims have been before.

Someone commented that Badr seems to be in a similar position that his hero, Mike Tyson, was in, when he was sent to jail for the rape of Desiree Washington. Once released, Mike Tyson, was never the same fighter that he was before. It remains to be seen what impact this event will have on Badr’s career. Whatever it is, Badr’s future career prospects look bleaker than ever. It will probably be a long time before we ever see Badr Hari in the ring again. What a waste of talent.

Original Article

According to many reports, Badr Hari has turned himself in and admitted guilt after finishing a vacation with his girlfriend Estelle Gullit.

There were too many witnesses who saw the exchange between Badr Hari and the victim at the music festival, and he has admitted his involvement.

This doesn’t bode well for his participation in the K1 Grand Prix, or for his career in general. I wonder if his career will ever recover from this. As for his boxing career, I now consider that a thing in the past, a fanciful dream he had more than anything else.

Original Article

Thanks to my astute readers, I don’t even have to do much research to find out what’s been going on with the bad boy lately. Unfortunately, it seems like recently, all the news have been disappointing - from abandoning his ex-girlfriend and newly born daughter, to cavorting with a married woman, and now (worst of all) being named the primary suspect in a recent assault case.

Things have gone from bad to worse, Badr is in custody and has been arrested. His girlfriend, Estelle Gullit, may even be called to testify. He has been named as the primary suspect, and is being sued by the co-owner of the club.

Trouble like this, seems to follow Badr Hari like the plague. Hopefully, his troubles outside the ring, won’t permanently damage his career inside the ring. Although this looks very likely.

Original Article

K1 has officially confirmed that their next event will take place in Japan on October 14th. Although the schedule hasn’t been announced yet, it sounds like very soon the schedule will be released.

This is a golden opportunity for Badr Hari to redeem himself from his performance against Anderson Silva. With ample time to train, he has no excuses for not putting in a stellar performance in his next fight.

Original Article

Liverkick.com has reported that Badr Hari has been accused in the brutal assault of a Dutch millionaire:

Badr Hari cannot escape his violent past, even while partying it up in the Amsterdam ArenA with his celebrity girlfriend, Estelle Cruyff, in a VIP box. As we reported earlier, at a Dutch dance festival in Amsterdam, Badr Hari was present and in his VIP box a 38 year-old man was brutally assaulted, with his leg and face badly damaged.

It looks like the victim is multimillionaire Koen Everink, and that the damages to his person might be so severe that he might never be able to walk properly again. The police have not ruled out Badr’s involvement in the assault yet, although he and his lawyer claim he is innocent. From the reports that we are hearing he will give a statement to the police either today or tomorrow and hopefully this can be cleared up.

After a promising beginning to 2012 Badr’s life has veered even more of course than I had even thought possible. Hopefully, Badr is not involved, and this matter can be cleared up, so he can focus on his career again.
