Michael Jerome Reece-Page, known as Michael 'Venom' Page, was born on April 7, 1987, in London. He comes from a martial arts family, with both of his parents being Lau Gar kung fu practitioners. His father, Curtis Page Sr., was his instructor, and several of his siblings are also kickboxing champions.

Page began training in Lau Gar at the age of 3 and competed in his first kickboxing tournament at 5 years old. By the age of 8, he was devoting himself to competition and entered his first international tournament in Germany. Over the years, he won 10 world championships in kickboxing and was crowned British champion over 25 times. He would often train for five hours a day, five days a week, and during tournament days, he would frequently fight up to 14 times due to competing in multiple weight classes.

Despite being scouted by the Great Britain Taekwondo team to train and qualify for the Olympics, Page turned it down to pursue a professional combat sports career. He later transitioned to mixed martial arts and joined London Shootfighters in 2011 to train with experienced fighters like John Hathaway, Cláudio da Silva, and Alexander Gustafsson.

As of September 26, 2023, Michael 'Venom' Page is ranked #5 in the Bellator Welterweight Rankings. His unorthodox fighting style, originating from freestyle kickboxing and sport karate, has earned him recognition in the MMA community. Page's success in kickboxing and his transition to mixed martial arts has solidified his status as a formidable fighter.

In addition to his fighting career, Page also trains others in kickboxing as an instructor at the Hands Down Martial Arts Academies throughout Surrey. His dedication to martial arts and his impressive achievements in various combat sports make him a notable figure in the fighting world.
