Badr Hari announced in March he was finished with Kickboxing and was chasing a dream of becoming a World Boxing Champion. He is currently training in the USA with the world-famous maker of champions, Naazim Richardson. Hari's goal is to become a World Boxing Champion within three years.

Hari stated he's excited about training with Richardson: "I have just finished the first six weeks of intensive training, including a high altitude training camp in California. I am in great shape and we have made a plan for the next three years, leading to the ultimate goal... becoming the world heavyweight champion in boxing. The past weeks we've been working mostly on my technique as a boxer."

Richardson added he believes in Hari's incredible potential: "Every century, a number of unique talents are born. Those talents have the capacity to make it to the absolute top of the world. Badr is one of those unique talents. He has the perfect fighting mentality, an amazing reach, an incredible punch, and technically it's looking great. On top of that, his physique works to his advantage. He is the ultimate fighting machine. I support Badr's wish to take one more shot at the K-1 World Grand Prix Title. It's also his way of showing respect to the sport of kickboxing."
