Mark Hunt rips ‘cheating bum’ Alistair Overeem, reveals who he wants to fight next

Mark Hunt is riding high after a victory on Saturday night over Derrick Lewis but he hasn’t forgotten his previous fight against Alistair Overeem from March.

On that night, Hunt suffered a devastating knockout loss courtesy of a knee strike from Overeem that put an end to the fight in the third round.

The loss has never sat well with Hunt, who has accused Overeem of cheating ahead of the fight after he was allowed to use an IV under a doctor’s supervision due to food poisoning he suffered ahead of the event. An IV use over 50mL is typically banned by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) unless prescribed and approved by a physician.
