Mark Hunt brutally KO’s Sonny Bill Williams in vintage ‘Super Samoan’ fashion – Boxing Highlights

Mark Hunt

At 48 years of age, Mark Hunt continues to defy the odds and make statements, having scored a vicious KO over the undefeated 9-0 (before the bout) boxer Sonny Bill Williams.

With this victory, it begs the question of what is next for Hunt. It seems that no matter what that may be, Hunt will always be an underdog looking to spoil someone’s night and after last night’s finish, it seems it could be a popular occurrence.

We’ve had the pleasure of seeing ‘Mark Hunt ‘The Super Samoan’ competing since before 2000. In 2010 we saw the UFC debut of Hunt where he created moments such as his KO against Frank Mir, Derrick Lewis and Antonio Silva. By the end of his UFC tenure, Mark Hunt finished 8-8-1 within the promotion having finished with a 88% finish rate.

So far during Mark Hunt’s boxing career, he has seen himself accumulate a record of 1-2-1 with his previous bout ending in a UD loss at the Bankwest Stadium against Paul Gallen. The common trend of these bouts has been Hunt coming in as an underdog, but as the old saying goes “every underdog has its day” with Hunt proving this emphatically by creating another viral finish.

In the lead-up to this fight, Mark Hunt was a +340 underdog, who was seen as just another stepping stone for current boxer and former rugby legend Sonny Bill Williams. A large majority of people were questioning this bout with Hunt being over a decade older than his opponent with the buzz around the fight being quite low up until the KO victory.

It’s safe to say that Mark Hunt doesn’t look finished yet, with 2023 looming it leaves a lot of intrigue as to how this next year looks for Hunt. Could it be a continuation of what we just saw? Or will this be a flash-in-the-pan moment that MMA fans can look back on and still be shocked by how Mark Hunt pulled off such a victory at 48 after years of competing in combat sports?

5-0 as a professional, Ohio native, Jake Paul managed to maintain and improve on his undefeated professional record back in December, stopping former undisputed UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley with a blistering sixth round one-punch knockout win.

The victory followed prior wins for Paul over Woodley in an August matchup between the two, after the outspoken YouTuber and social media influencer stopped former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight gold holder, UFC alum, Ben Askren with a stunning first round knockout back in April.

Releasing a “hit list” recently featuring future potential opponents, Paul named the likes of former boxing world champions, Floyd Mayweather, and Oscar De La Hoya – as well as former UFC middleweight titleholder, Michael Bisping.

Over the course of last weekend, Paul was also the subject of a callout from once-scheduled foe, Tommy Fury, however, the aforenoted New Zealand rugby player veteran and Rubgy Union alum, Williams, has claimed that he has received word from Paul’s team in regards to a potential fight next.

The main thing is I’m very excited and very grateful to be back in the ring, on Stan, boxing.”

Also boasting an undefeated professional record, Auckland native, Williams has competed nine times professionally since his May 2009 debut – landing nine consecutive wins.

The Kiwi most recently defeated Barry Hall with a first round knockout win back in March, and managed to clinch the vacant WBA international heavyweight championship in February 2013 with a unanimous decision win over Francois Botha.

One of Jake Paul’s targeted opponents, New Zealand boxer Sonny Bill Williams, says that negotiations are underway between the two sides.

Paul listed Williams in a recently-revealed group of potential boxing adversaries for his return to the ring later this year. He hasn’t fought since his knockout of former UFC champion Tyron Woodley last December.

During a recent interview with Stan Sport, Williams revealed the probability of a fight with Paul happening next.

“Jake Paul, his people have reached out to mine and they’re talking so who knows,” Williams said. “The main thing is I’m very excited and very grateful to be back in the ring, on Stan, boxing.” (h/t Nine)

Williams explained why he feels he’s ready for a big fight against Paul.

“I feel in the last six months I’ve improved tenfold, so it’s the confidence I have in my ability,” Williams said.

Williams is 9-0 in his professional boxing career, with his most recent win coming against Barry Hall in March. He is also a former professional rugby player and retired in 2019.

Paul has also been the target of Tommy Fury following Fury’s most recent win over Daniel Bocianski last week on the Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte card in London. Paul and Fury were supposed to fight in December before Fury pulled out with an injury.

It’s unclear how far along negotiations are between Paul and Williams’ respective teams, but it seems that the interest in a fight between the two boxers is legitimate.
