UFC heavyweight fan favourite Mark Hunt reveals the shocking childhood he was forced to endure in the urban area of South Auckland, New Zealand.
Given the soft-spoken, humble nature of heavyweight legend Mark Hunt, it's difficult to believe "The Super Samoan" had ever endured such a traumatic childhood.
In his new book "Born to Fight", and an interview with Stephen Lacey of stuff.co.nz, the 41-year-old opened up on the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father in his home of South Auckland, New Zealand.
Hunt says his father, now deceased, subjected the child to extreme psychological and physical trauma.
