Michael Page Signs With Misfits Boxing

The former UFC striker has joined the influencer-led promoter as a route to bigger crossover fights under a different rules and pay model.

Overview

  • Page announced the signing in the ring at a Misfits Boxing event in London on Saturday, with co-founder KSI helping promote the move.
  • The deal follows the UFC’s decision not to re-sign Page after his contract expired in September and Dana White saying matchmakers chose not to keep him.
  • In his in-ring remarks Page said he “feels free,” signaled eagerness for high-profile opponents and framed the move as a fresh start after a divisive UFC run.
  • Misfits and Page have not disclosed an opponent, a fight date, or whether he will compete under boxing rules, and reports say those details are still being worked out; given Page’s striking background some outlets expect a boxing debut but that remains unconfirmed.
  • The signing fits a growing pattern of established MMA fighters taking offers from celebrity and influencer promoters to chase visibility and pay, and it changes Page’s career path while raising questions about where mainstream promotions and crossover brands overlap.
