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.
The 39-year-old's last fight on his UFC contract 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.
Despite his record in the UFC, Page, known as MVP, was dropped by the MMA promotion and is linking up with Misfits Boxing.
The Londoner has signed a "multi-fight, multi-year agreement".
"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.
