The International Convention Centre in Sydney absolutely lights up as the 48-year-old 'Super Samoan,' in his last fight, levels Sonny Bill Williams to hand him his first loss as a professional boxer.

The momentum really swung at the start of the fourth round.

Williams, who had all the momentum on his side, suddenly slowed down and Hunt capitalised.

A few shots to the body really rocked him and his corner immediately sensed what was going on.

Desperate cries of "move, Sonny move! Dance, Sonny!" came from the coach's corner.

Williams fell to the floor and the fight stopped briefly.

A drink of water came for Williams while the Hunt camp cried for the fight to continue, but Hunt immediately landed a big right hand and knocked the mouth guard right out of his mouth.

A series of punches sends Williams into a daze and the referee calls it. What a fight!

Stan Sport commentator Andy Raymond is clearly heard saying "Sonny Bill is down," "He's hurt. Against the odds, Sonny Bill Williams has been dropped.”

"His eyes are not clear... Mark Hunt, in his final fight, stops the legend that is Sonny Bill Williams. What a fight."

After a knock-out defeat to Mark Hunt in the fourth round of their heavyweight fight, Sonny Bill Williams conceded his time as an athlete might be up.
