Heavyweight kings shared the stage at official GLORY: COLLISION 2 Pre-Fight Press Conference in Utrecht, Netherlands.
Their upcoming rematch is on Saturday, December 21.
“I am gonna be in the ring and I’m gonna perform the best I can,” Verhoeven said. Either way, he is going to quit or he’s going to get knocked out. That’s what’s going to happen 21st December.”
“It’s maybe one of the biggest fights in my career because I am really looking for legacy, I am looking for eternal glory, not for just this win. So as a fight, It’s maybe the biggest of my career. It was very hard for me to accept (the loss)… I am happy for him but three years later, its gonna end, because I am going to show people his real level,” said Hari.
Badr Hari: “This is a fight that I have wanted for three years because the last fight my arm was injured and my arm stopped. This is a hard way to lose a fight. Especially a fight as big as this one. It’s maybe one of the biggest fights in my career because I am really looking for legacy, I am looking for eternal glory, not for just this win. So as a fight, it’s maybe the biggest of my career.
“It was very hard for me to accept [the loss] and it took me three years to see him again. Before that fight like we all know there were not a lot of people who know Rico and then the badr hari wave came along and he jumped on, he became famous, did a lot of shows, made some money.
“I am happy for him but three years later, its gonna end, because 21 December I am going to show people his real level of fighting and it’s not that great. We can see the last opponent that he fought – come on man, it was a joke.”
Rico Verhoeven: “Every fight, Everything is on the line – your legacy, everything you trained for every day. Your blood sweat and tears are in this sport. When you lose, it doesn’t only hurt physically but mentally.”
