Kiwi Mark Hunt has revealed that he was offered a boxing match against Cronulla Sharks captain Paul Gallen.
Hunt has received multiple offers to jump into a boxing ring when his illustrious UFC career comes to an end, most likely later this year.
The "Super Samoan" is currently preparing for a return to the octagon and will face Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of UFC 221 in Perth on February 10.
The 43-year-old said he was open to the possibility of a boxing career after his last three remaining fights in the UFC, with a potential bout against former NSW Origin captain Gallen on the cards.
"I've got this one in Perth then hopefully I can push out two more before the end of the year and my contract will be up," Hunt told Fox Sports Australia.
"I'd like to fight another three times globally and then probably hang them up. I've already been offered three boxing fights. I'm still chasing the UFC dream. I want to be the best mixed martial artist in the world.
"Maybe I will chase a boxing title after that. Conor [McGregor] fought the best boxer [Floyd Mayweather] in the world so who knows?
"I've been offered Lucas Browne and Paul Gallen. Who is looking after these guys? Come on guys. I know Gal. We have lunch sometimes. You can't really fight friends or family but it depends if the money is right."
Hunt's UFC career has been marred with controversy after persistent run-ins with UFC boss Dana White.
The No.5 ranked heavyweight sued the UFC following a fight with Brock Lesner who ended up failing a drug test.
White's decision to pull Hunt from an earlier Sydney event following revelations about the Kiwi's health and memory loss put further strain on their relationship.
Hunt was cleared to fight again last month after undergoing testing at a brain research institute in Las Vegas and looks to have put his rift with the UFC boss behind him.
"There is no relationship with Dana," he said.
"Dana is a businessman. He is my boss. I was angry at the time they pulled me off. I lost a lot of money. The taxman was calling. They don't get out your back.
"Of course I was pissed off. I lost over a million dollars. [But] I've got nothing against Dana. They are just looking after themselves."
Hunt is now looking forward to getting back into the octagon and is adamant that he has no health concerns to worry about.
"I'm as fit as a fiddle, there is nothing wrong with my health," he said.
"I have a problem called old age but everyone gets to that stage.
"I've been fighting for a long time. I've been pushing the boundaries. I'm coming towards the end of it.
"I said I sometimes slur my speech or sometimes forget stuff but who the f*** wants to remember all the bad shit?"
