In a statement on social media Badr Hari promises a return. The legend of kick boxing is clear on this point: throwing in the towel and admitting defeat is out of the question.

This is the second time the Bad boy has lost to Verhoeven due to injury. The first time was in 2016, recalls the Arabic-language daily Al Ahdath Al Maghribia on December 24.
"I want to thank my entire army for this incredible evening of combat. You were incredible and I cannot describe how I felt when I entered the ring in this crazy atmosphere. It was unique and I am very proud of it. 'have your support,' said the Moroccan champion on social media.
The same goes for the Al Massae newspaper, which also reported Badr Hari's comments after the meeting. "You can imagine how difficult it is for me to accept this result. I have shown the world that I am still the most dominant fighter in the heavyweight division. I am also convinced that I will regain that belt." And in a classy and fair play gesture, the Bad Boy wanted to "thank Rico for his exemplary sportsmanship after my injury". Before giving an appointment to all his fans for a rematch.
In addition, King Mohammed VI wanted to congratulate the two Moroccan champions who distinguished themselves at the World Kick Boxing Championships. They are Zakaria Zougari and Mohamed Jarraya, respectively featherweight and lightweight world champions.
