Vlad Panin was born in Gomel, Belarus (bordering Russia & Ukraine) where he spent his early childhood before immigrating to the United States with his mother when he was six years old. He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and started boxing at the age of 13 while playing numerous other sports throughout school.

When he was 17, he graduated high school and began his higher education at UCLA, where he quickly looked for a boxing team to continue his progress. He was introduced to Ramon Espada, the founder of the UCLA and USC boxing teams, and the rest is history.

He went on to win multiple tournaments while being a full time student, becoming a regional champion and consistently placing in the top 2 in national tournaments held all over the country.

After graduating UCLA in just 3 years, Vlad took the same focus and work ethic he demonstrated as a student and applied it to boxing, shortly after turning professional in 2017. Now he continues his climb up the rankings, with the focus of becoming a world champion.

You can see Vlad fighting locally in Los Angeles, CA, as well as on national TV networks such as ESPN, FOX, and multiple streaming networks. Make sure to check this page for more updates on upcoming fights.
