Michael 'Venom' Page joins Misfits Boxing after UFC exit
Michael “Venom” Page has a new fight home. The 39-year-old Londoner has signed a multi-fight, multi-year agreement with Misfits Boxing after leaving the UFC, BBC reported.
The move was announced on Saturday by KSI, the YouTuber-turned-boxer who co-founded Misfits. Page, also known as MVP, joined KSI in the ring to confirm the deal during a live event.
He sounded ready for a fresh start. “I feel free, shackles are off,” Page said. He added he is “coming to show the boxing world what I can do.”
Page arrives with serious credentials in mixed martial arts, the sport that allows striking plus wrestling and submissions. He joined the UFC as a free agent in 2024 and won five of his six fights there, including a win over Nursulton Ruziboev in September in the final bout on his contract. He was then dropped by the UFC. Overall, he has won 26 of his 29 MMA bouts.
Boxing is a narrower test, fought with punches only. Page is 2-0 as a professional boxer, but both of those fights came a long time ago. He made his debut in 2017 and has not boxed since 2018.
Misfits is known for crossover boxing, where MMA fighters, influencers and content creators meet established boxers on big, loud cards. That mix suits Page’s reputation. He built his name on fast, flashy striking and awkward angles that made him one of Britain’s most watchable MMA fighters.
For fans, this means a style clash to look forward to. Page has the movement and timing of an elite striker, but pure boxing removes the kicks, knees and takedowns he used to set up his shots.
No date or opponent has been announced for his Misfits debut, MMA Junkie reported. Expect that news to drive the next chapter.
