Both men have posted pictures on a variety of different social media platforms in the past showing their close friendship and Ronaldo himself is understood to have travelled to Morocco on several occasions to visit Hari.
The Moroccan is recognised as one of the world's best kickboxers having been crowned as K1 heavyweight champion back in 2008, before going on to become the Showtime heavyweight champion two years later.
Despite his success in the ring, Hari has been involved in a number of controversial incidents away from kickboxing, which led to a psychologist reportedly diagnosing him as having'narcissistic personality traits' during a trial in the Netherlands.
