Veteran MMA fighter Mark Hunt is gearing up for a potential return to the combat sports arena, with his sights set on a wide range of opportunities…
Including a possible boxing match against Jake Paul!
Paul, known for his high-profile boxing matches, has a fight scheduled for March – though his opponent remains unannounced.
When questioned about this potential matchup on The MMA Hour, Hunt answered:
I always thought he was kind of small for it, but if he wants to throw hands, I’ll throw hands with anyone, to be honest.
That ain’t a problem.
Unlike some veteran MMA fighters, Hunt looks favorably at what Paul is doing in the world of fight sports:
I actually like what he’s done. He’s actually done a lot of good things for himself and for fighting.
If he can sell out stadiums as being a YouTuber, so I have respect for that…But as skill level goes, I don’t think so, to be honest.
But who knows what the future holds?
The 49-year-old fighter is currently in discussions with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) for a potential fight.
Hunt expressed his interest in a bare-knuckle fight as well:
I’m kind of keen on doing some bare-knuckle.
I have been talking to the [BKFC] for a while ago, but we just didn’t lock down a deal.I don’t fight because I love to, I fight because God has put me to be a fighter.
It provides good money and that’s what it is, it’s an honest living.
