Michael Hunter (born 5 May 1978) is a Super Bantamweight boxer from Hartlepool, North East England. He is the former British Champion and European champion at the weight.
He won his British title against Mark Payne in April 2004 and had a fairly easy run until he met Esham Pickering in October 2005. In a match for the European Title, Hunter was knocked down twice en route to a majority decision victory.
He was beaten by Steve Molitor on 10 November 2006 by 5th round KO for the IBF Super Bantamweight Title. Since then Hunter defeated Ben Odamattey on points in March 2007.
He lost to Jason Booth for his old British super-bantamweight belt in Sunderland in October 2009.
He is regularly seen in the Nightclubs and bars of Hartlepool, his hometown. He was arrested in 2008 for assault and battery of a 19-year-old girl. It is believed this incident was fuelled by his regular cocaine use.
