“He’s hurt. Against the odds, Sonny Bill Williams has been dropped. His eyes are not clear.”

Williams survived the standing count but Hunt landed another powerful jab to his jaw while Williams had both hands against the ropes.

In an interview after the match Hunt indicates he’ll be hanging up the gloves after this win.

“I’m smiling not because of the win, but I’m smiling because this is the last time I walked into a ring of combat of any sorts. My first thought after was ‘s*** I want to do that again!’, but no I won’t be back in the ring again..” Hunt said.

Hunt thanked everyone across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and he said it was sweet to retire in his adopted home of Australia.

“I was putting on a little weight when I got the call. This gives me the chance to get back to being healthy again..”
