Hunter took the opportunity to steal the show before he even stepped foot between the ropes – but the shock result soon became the talking point.

The Bounty Hunter, as he goes by, came out as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 nemesis as he made his way to the ring.

Hunter wore a Predator mask and had the movie villain printed on his shorts.

Fans online hailed the unorthodox ring attire – but reckon the heavyweight was just getting use out of his Halloween. costume.

One said: “Good to see Michael Hunter getting multiple uses out of his halloween costume.”

Another said: “Good to see Michael Hunter made use of post-Halloween sales…”

One added: “Michael Hunter just walked to the ring in a Predator mask. So sick!!!”

Hunter came out firing from the first round and hurt his veteran opponent but could not find the finish.

The American then worked behind an educated long jab stinging Povetkin’s body and chin as Hunter dominated the action.

But, the pair could not be separated with both judges scoring in favour of each heavyweight with the deciding card a draw.
