Badr Hari hatte sein K-1 Debüt bereits mit 19 Jahren, als er am 20. Mai 2004 gegen Aziz Khattou kämpfte und diesen sogar in der zweiten Runde ausknocken konnte. Auch seinen zweiten Kampf konnte er erfolgreich bestreiten, als er am 16. April 2005 gegen Vitali Akhramenko gewann; das war im K-1 Italy Grand Prix 2005 in Mailand. Keine zwei Monate später musste er jedoch seine erste Niederlage hinnehmen, weil ihn der Deutsch-Kroate Stefan "Der Blitz" Leko bereits nach 105 Sekunden ausknocken konnte. Am 19. November 2005 konnte er sich jedoch revanchieren, weil er Leko in der zweiten Runde durch einen High-Kick KO schlagen konnte.
Nach seinen ersten vier Kämpfen erntete der junge Hari jedoch zwei bittere Niederlagen, da beide Kämpfe mit einem KO endeten, die ihm Peter Graham sowie Ruslan Karaev zufügten; Karaev konnte Hari durch einen rechten Punch sogar nach nur 52 Sekunden ausknocken.
Aus diesen Niederlagen zog er seine Schlüsse und konnte die nächsten sechs Kämpfe allesamt gewinnen; vier Kämpfe wurden vorzeitig entschieden. Darunter waren 2007 auch Siege gegen Peter Graham und Ruslan Karaev, die ihn im Jahr zuvor ausknocken konnten; dies gelang ihm am 4. März 2007 seinerseits gegen Karaev. Am 29. September 2007 gewann er seinen K-1 World Grand Prix Elimination-Kampf gegen Doug Viney, den er in der zweiten Runde ebenfalls ausknocken konnte.
Einen Dämpfer gab es dann allerdings im Viertelfinale des K-1 World Grand Prix Finalturniers am 8. Dezember 2007, als ihn Remy Bonjasky an seinem Geburtstag nach Punkten bezwang.
Aber auch von dieser Enttäuschung konnte sich der inzwischen 23 Jahre alte "Golden Boy" sehr gut erholen, denn er legte wieder eine Siegesserie von sechs Erfolgen in Folge hin; alle Kämpfe wurden vorzeitig beendet, drei sogar in der ersten Runde. Unter diesen Siegen finden sich unter anderem der Final-Elimination Kampf gegen den 2,16 Meter großen Choi Hong-man am 27. September 2008, der allerdings die Extra-Runde auf Grund einer Rippenverletzung nicht antreten konnte, weil die Schmerzen zu groß wurden.
Im K-1 Finalturnier traf er dann gegen den dreifachen Routinier Peter Aerts, den er so eindeutig beherrscht hat, dass der Kampf in der zweiten Runde sogar abgebrochen werden musste:
Hari fand sich im Halbfinale des World Grand Prix Turniers 2008 wieder, das er erfolgreich gegen Errol Zimmerman bestreiten konnte und ihn in der dritten Runde durch einen rechten Punch ausknocken konnte.
Seine Siegesserie endete ausgerechnet im K-1 World Grand Prix Finale gegen Remy Bonjasky, der Hari bereits im Vorjahr an seinem Geburtstag (im Viertelfinale) bezwingen konnte: Hari musste in der ersten Runde einmal zu Boden, als Bonjasky eine sehenswerte Treffer-Kombination abschloss und Hari so zu Boden zwang; die erste Runde ging klar an den Holländer. In der zweiten Runde leistete sich Hari nach nur 53 Sekunden eine Unsportlichkeit, als Hari Bonjasky zu Boden warf und dann den am Boden liegenden Bonjasky mehrfach schlug und sogar seinen Kopf mit dem Fuß traf, so dass der Kampf unterbrochen werden musste und Bonjasky untersucht wurde.
Der Kampf wurde beendet und Badr Hari wurde disqualifiziert, Bonjasky gewann dieses Turnier zum dritten Mal.
Knapp drei Wochen später setzte es - in seinem inzwischen 21. K-1 Kampf - erneut eine Niederlage, als er seinen vierten KO hinnehmen musste, diesesmal gegen Alistair Overeem.
Seinen 22. K-1 Kampf konnte er jedoch wieder gewinnen, als er am 26. September 2009 Samedov in der ersten Runde ausknocken und sich somit erneut für das Finalturnier qualifizieren konnte.

Early life:
Badr Hari began practicing kickboxing at the age of seven, under the guidance of former World Champion Mousid Akamrane. As a teenager he trained under Mohammed Ait Hassou at the Sitan Gym. When the Sitan Gym moved to Rotterdam, Badr joined the famous Chakuriki Gym ran by Thom Harinck. Under Harinck, Hari developed into one of the greatest kickboxing talents of the Netherlands.
Kickboxing career
Early career
Under Harnick'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, but gained a lot of respect for stepping up to such an opponent under those circumstances.
In January 2005, Hari left Chakuriki and joined Simon Rutz's It's Showtime team. After a few months' training at Mejiro Gym he returned to Harinck's, but left again a couple of weeks later. Since then Badr Hari has been coached by Mike Passenier, who also trains Joerie Mes, Bjorn Bregy and Melvin Manhoef.
Road to K-1
Hari's road to fame began with a pair of matches against Stefan Leko in 2005. It took place at the It's Showtime 8 event, on June 12, 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 then the actual fight, where Hari was knocked out by Leko's 'trademark' spinning back kick. Leko looked to be spitting on Hari while he was down.
On November 19, 2005, Hari got his chance for revenge. He entered the K-1 World Grand Prix 2005 as a reserve fighter against Stefan Leko. Hari didn't seem to have lost his confidence and knocked Leko out by a spinning back high kick to the jaw. After all the bad blood between both fighters, Hari helped his opponent up and escorted the dazed German to the corner.
K-1 New Zealand 2006
In 2006 Badr Hari was scheduled to participate in the K-1 World GP 2006 in The Netherlands on May 13, 2006, but fought in the K-1 World GP 2006 in New Zealand instead as a last minute replacement. His opponent in the first round was Australian Peter "The Chief" Graham. Hari once again showed his bad boy reputation by abusing Graham and starting a street fight at the press conference. In the actual fight Hari was knocked out by Graham's trademark "Rolling Thunder". The heel hit Hari hard on the head and knocked him out cold. Graham's kick broke Hari's jaw in multiple places and sidelined Hari for a several months.
Return to K-1
Hari returned to the ring at the K-1 World GP 2006 Final Elimination in Osaka, Japan against Ruslan Karaev. Karaev hurt Badr with a straight right that left Hari slouching over in the corner, then Karaev delivered a kick to Hari's face when it looked as though Hari was already lying on the canvas. Hari was counted out by the referee but immediately he and his corner protested, saying the kick was a foul. When the referee did not respond, Hari left in anger and trashed his changing room.
Despite being knocked out, Hari was once again picked as a reserve fighter in the K-1 Grand Prix 2006 Finals against Paul Slowinski. He won the fight by unanimous decision.
Hari then fought Nicholas Pettas at Dynamite and broke Pettas's left arm in the second round with his powerful round kicks.
Hari got his revenge against Karaev onK-1 World GP 2007 in Yokohama. Karaev and Hari's matchup was one of two bouts to qualify for the first K-1 Heavyweight Title Match, scheduled on April 28, 2007 in Hawaii. Hari was knocked down in the second round and was just able to make it to his feet when Karaev intended to finish the fight with a swinging punch which Hari ducked, and landed a right cross to score a KO.
K-1 Heavyweight champion
On April 28, at K-1 World GP 2007 in Hawaii, Badr Hari and Yusuke Fujimoto fought for the newly introduced Heavyweight belt. Hari won the fight in 56 seconds with a kick to the chin. With the knockout Hari became the world's first ever K-1 Heavyweight champion.
Hari got his chance for revenge against Graham in Hong Kong where he dropped Graham with a body punch and won by unanimous decision.
On September 29, 2007 at the K-1 World GP 2007 Final Elimination, Badr Hari beat the K-1 World GP 2007 in Las Vegas tournament champion, Doug Viney, by a second round KO and qualified for his first K-1 World GP Final, held on December 8 in Yokohama, Japan. His winning streak came to an end with a decision loss to Remy Bonjasky, during quarter final.
2008
All of Hari's wins in 2008 were by knockouts, by beating Ray Sefo in Yokohama, Glaube Feitosa (whom he defended his heavyweight title) in Fukuoka and Domagoj Ostojic in Hawaii. On his next fight in Seoul he qualified for the K-1 World GP 2008 Final by TKO win over the Korean giant Hong Man Choi.
In the quarterfinals on December 6, Hari defeated three time K-1 World champion Peter Aerts by TKO in the second round. Then in semis he knocked out Errol Zimmerman and headed to his first K-1 Final against Remy Bonjasky. After suffering a knockdown in the first, Hari was disqualified in the second round for unsportsmanlike conduct by stomping and punching an already downed Bonjasky. First the referee Nobuaki Kakuda issued a yellow card and one point deduction. Meanwhile Hari proceeded to Bonjasky’s corner shouting, and quarreled with his opponent's trainer Ivan Hippolyte who then also approached Hari aggressively, but the officials prevented any further physical contact between them. After the five-minute recovery time elapsed, the doctor reported Bonjasky was seeing double and could not continue. Hari was issued a red card and Bonjasky was declared the K-1 World GP 2008 champion.
In later interviews Badr claimed Bonjasky was acting, and that "Remy's corner was screaming at him to stay down".
After the event Badr was not suspended for his actions, but K-1 has however stripped him of his heavyweight title and his fee for participation in the tournament.
While there were many rumours of his and his opponent's participation, it was finally announced that Badr would face MMA Heavyweight Alistair Overeem in a K-1 rules match on K-1's NYE extravaganza. Hari lost the fight by a left hook KO in the first round within 2 minutes. Part of the fight agreement is that both Badr and Overeem would also fight each other in an MMA match for FEG's DREAM promotion sometime in 2009. In an interview with Dutch tv station SBS 6 Badr Hari is seen avoiding this match and few people are still believing Hari's word to enter the contest against Alistair Overeem.
2009
2009 was another big year for Hari, with all of his wins in the first round by Knockout.
In May Hari fought Semmy Schilt in a long-awaited bout for the newly introduced It's Showtime World Heavyweight title. Hari came out very aggressively and knocked Schilt down twice in the first round. The fight was stopped after the second knockdown and Hari took the heavyweight title in 42 seconds.
At the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final 16 Hari again used his trademark right body shot to score a first round knockout over Zabit Samedov.
At the selection for the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final Hari chose to fight Ruslan Karaev for the third time. He ran through the tournament with first round knockouts over Karaev and Alistair Overeem in a rematch, to make it to the World Grand Prix Final for the second year against Semmy Schilt. In their rematch Hari lost by KO after being knocked down 3 times in the first round.
