In his first light heavyweight title defense, Hunt face Joe Riggs at BKFC 24 on April 30, 2022. He won the bout by second-round knockout.[6]

Hunt faced Quentin Henry for the vacant cruiserweight championship at BKFC 30 on October 1, 2022. He won the bout by knockout in the third round to win the title, making him the second two-division champion in BKFC history.[7] [8]

Hunt was scheduled to face interim light heavyweight champion Mike Richman in a title unification bout at KnuckleMania 3 on February 17, 2023. Despite being knocked down in the first round, Hunt knocked out Richman and unified the titles.[9]

In his first cruiserweight title defense, Hunt faced Chris Camozzi at BKFC 50 on September 22, 2023. He won the bout by split decision.[10] [11]
