Mark Hunt no longer just a heavyweight — in 2017, he’s a cause to weighty issues

It’s not without a certain kind of, what…celestial kismet?...that Mark Hunt’s next fight comes against Alistair Overeem, who dodges asterisks as if they were incoming Chinese stars. In early-2017, Hunt has become a one-man anti-PED crusade who is pretty damn fed up with fighting these overblown cats with seething hormones. Sick of it to the point that he asked for a provision in his contract that guarantees he take home his opponent’s full purse the next time that opponent pops for PEDs (a request that was promptly ignored). Sick of it that he turned down “millions” in fights trying to get that done (his estimates).
