Former Boxing Champion James Page Arrested for Allegedly Robbing 8 Banks

Just one year after completing an 11-year prison sentence, former WBA welterweight champion James Page has been accused of robbing eight banks.

Page, who is suspected of robbing eight banks over the past three months in the San Francisco Bay Area, was arrested on Monday. The 42-year-old was booked on one count of robbery and is being held on $395,000 bail.

This isn’t Page’s first issue with bank robberies, as he was found guilty of robbing a Bank of America in Atlanta back in 2001, which led to his decade-plus spent behind bars.

Page won the WBA welterweight championship vacated by Ike Quartey in 1998 when he knocked out Russia’s Andrey Pestryaev. Page, who went by the nickname “Mighty Quinn,” successfully defended the belt three times before being stripped and ultimately losing to Andrew Lewis in his bid to regain the title.
