Former UFC fighter Michael ‘Venom’ Page says he is “coming to show the boxing world what I can do” after joining the Misfits promotion outfit.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 39-year-old’s last fight on his UFC contract<\/a> took place in September when he beat Nursulton Ruziboev to register a fifth win in six fights since making his debut for the organisation in 2024.<\/p>\n

Despite his record in the UFC, Page, known as MVP, was dropped by the MMA promotion and is linking up with Misfits Boxing.<\/p>\n

The Londoner has signed a “multi-fight, multi-year agreement”.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been in combat sports for a long time and I’ve had plenty of options, but MF Sports is the right fit for me,” said Page.<\/p>\n

“They’re doing things differently, the energy is huge, and the fights are big. <\/p>\n

“I’m excited for this new chapter, and I’m coming to show the boxing world what I can do. I feel free, shackles are off.”<\/p>\n

Page has won 26 of his 29 MMA fights and is a decorated kickboxer.<\/p>\n

The former Bellator star made his professional boxing debut in 2017 and is 2-0, but has not boxed since 2018.<\/p>\n

KSI, a co-founder of Misfits, announced MVP’s arrival at an event on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Michael Venom Page is one of the biggest names in combat sports, and everyone wanted him,” said the influencer, musician and former boxer.<\/p>\n

“For him to choose Misfits says everything about where we are as a promotion. He’s a superstar, he’s explosive, and fans are going to love watching him in the ring with us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
