Former UFC fighter Michael 'Venom' Page has signed with Misfits Boxing, declaring he is 'coming to show the boxing world what I can do' after his UFC contract ended. The 39-year-old Londoner, known as MVP, last fought in the UFC in September, defeating Nursulton Ruziboev to secure his fifth win in six bouts since his 2024 debut. Despite that record, he was released by the UFC and has now agreed to a 'multi-fight, multi-year agreement' with Misfits.
Page said he chose the promotion after considering many options, praising its energy and approach: 'They're doing things differently, the energy is huge, and the fights are big.' He expressed excitement for this new chapter, feeling 'free' with 'shackles off'. Page brings a strong combat sports background, having won 26 of his 29 MMA fights and being a decorated kickboxer. He made his professional boxing debut in 2017 and holds a 2-0 record, though he has not boxed since 2018.
KSI, co-founder of Misfits, announced the signing at a Saturday event, calling Page 'one of the biggest names in combat sports' and saying his decision to join Misfits reflects the promotion's growing stature. KSI added that fans will love watching the explosive superstar in the ring.
