Kickboxing : “K-1” - Badr Hari returns!

---------------------------------------

"K-1" and the Fight Channel have announced that Badr Hari will replace an overbooked Ben Edwards in the "K-1" World Grand Prix in Zagreb.

With the "K-1" promotion being reneown for having such strong Champions holding the "K-1" Heavyweight World Grandprix Title, such as in the most recent years Alister Overeem and of course Semmy Schilts, should Badr Hari lift the crown he would no doubt be a great asset to "K-1" Global Holdings, as Badr Hari seems to be the only star signing in the sport of Kickboxing not to have signed with "GLORY".

This is what k-1 needs - the most exciting fighter in the world is back!!

He's massive star and we are will be covering it in Croatia!!!

A CroCop vs Badr final would be fantastic for K-1, and for the sport as a whole!

CroCop well past it IMO

Agreed, but it would be a nice way to close a fantastic carear. If he had not gone into M.M.A. , in which he became PRIDE Champion, he would have probrably won the K-1 WGP HW title at some point.

Badr too, is an uncrowned champion, and one of only a few men to ever defeat Semmy Schilts.

Never tire of seeing that video, Badr Hari is a throwback to the times of Hooste and Aerts, K1 superstar, so exciting to watch!

Exactly! Hooste, Aaerts during the Golden Years of "K-1"!

This actual bout happened outside of the "K-1" promotion and instead was on "ItsShowtime", for their Kickboxing 'brand' Super-Heavyweight Title.

This lead the way for a true rival to emerge to "K-1", via "GLORY"

Competition can raise standards, and Kickboxing is definately benefitting from this now.

New training video from his training to be released this week!

Any updates on what the draw will be for the brackets?

Hopefully Badr Hari and Cro-Cop avoid each other in the Quarter-Finals, and possibly the Semi's. That could setup a great final!

Fingers crossed, for this to happen. Kickboxing, with the sport at this time going through a resurgant explosion in its popularity, could really do with an outstanding "K-1" Heavyweight World Grandprix Final.
