After his defeat to Alistair Overeem, Badr Hari announced the end of his fighting career. However, the famous kickboxer, who managed to fight in the rings of the legendary K-1 promotion, did not stay “retired” for long. Already on September 9, Badr will return to the game and fight with James McSweeney in the main battle of Glory 88. The winner of this confrontation will receive the right to fight in the December G8 of heavyweights and compete for $500,000.
On the eve of the fight with McSweeney, the Moroccan said that his real motivation is not victories and money, but the happiness of his fans.
“This is really my motivation: when you enter the ring, everyone is happy. Many fans buy tickets just because I will be in the ring,” said the kickboxer.
