Michael 'Venom' Page swaps the cage for the squared circle, and he says the boxing world has no idea what's coming.
Another name from the Black British and Caribbean diaspora is entering the boxing ring. British-Jamaican striker Michael 'Venom' Page, known to fans as MVP, has signed with Misfits Boxing, the promotion backed by YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
Page arrives after a high-profile run in MMA, where his flashy, unorthodox striking made him one of the most recognisable fighters of his generation. Hands low, angles wild, showmanship turned up. Now he wants to prove that the style translates to boxing, where there are no kicks, no takedowns and nowhere to hide.
He has made his intentions clear, saying he's ready to show boxing fans exactly what he's capable of. That's a bold promise for a sport with its own rules, rhythms and rankings, but confidence has never been in short supply with MVP.
For Misfits, it's a notable signing. The promotion has built its brand on mixing influencer buzz with credible fighters, and adding a name with real combat-sports pedigree pushes that mission further. Opponent and date details are still to come, but expect the hype machine to start rolling quickly.
