The Moroccan kickboxer friend who Cristiano Ronaldo was once accused of having a gay relationship with has been sentenced to two years in jail for assault.

Badr Hari, 32, was not present in court and will now have to fly from his homeland to Amsterdam to serve his sentence.

He is expected to serve around six months of the sentence, which his lawyer called 'incomprehensible', and has no chance of appeal.

The conviction relates to a series of violent incident in Amsterdam Hari made in 2011 and 2012.

In October 2015 he took the opportunity to visit Morocco with friends where he and Hari shared pictures of their time together, including the fighter holding up Ronaldo by the pool with the caption: 'Just married. Hahahaha. Always there to pick you up bro'

The Moroccan kickboxer friend who Cristiano Ronaldo was once accused of having a gay relationship with has been sentenced to two years in jail for assault

The fighter was convicted on two counts of aggravated assault after one attack at the Amsterdam Arena in 2012 and another in a nightclub owned by businessman Jimmy Woo using a broken glass.

Hari will now fly from his homeland to serve his sentence.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is extremely close to Hari and it sparked rumours that they were in a gay relationship.

Hari is considered one of the best kickboxers in the world - having previously been crowned K1 heavyweight champion (2007-08) and the It's Showtime heavyweight champion (2009-10) - although he has courted controversy for some violent outbursts outside of the ring.

A psychologist reportedly diagnosed him as having 'narcissistic personality traits' during one of his trials in the Netherlands - where he fights out of Mike's Gym in Oostzaan.
