Vladislav Valdimirovich Tuinov (), commonly referred to as Vlad Tuinov (born February 10, 1998, in Orel, Russia), is a Russian professional kickboxer who competes in the lightweight category.
Early life
Originating from Orel, Russia, Tuinov's introduction to kickboxing was unplanned. He stumbled upon the sport after mistakenly entering the wrong door at a local sports facility, where he met coach Andrey Chadin, who persuaded him to begin training.
Professional kickboxing career
Following 11 professional bouts, Vlad clinched the FKR 60 kg Russian championship on May 9, 2014, overcoming Alexander Kotov via unanimous decision. Subsequently, on August 4, 2014, he earned the WFMC 65 kg Russian title by knocking out Murad Abdulaev in the fourth round.
On March 6, 2016, Vlad captured the WKU 71 kg European championship with a unanimous decision victory over Nikola Cimesa. Later that year, he secured the W5 71 kg European title by delivering a third-round TKO against Erkan Varol.
In 2017, Vlad added three more titles to his collection and successfully defended his W5 71 kg European belt twice. On April 6, he maintained his W5 European title and claimed the 72.5 kg W5 Intercontinental championship by defeating Massaro Glunder through unanimous decision. On June 17, he won the MTA 71 kg European crown after besting Bryton Mabel. His second defense of the W5 title occurred on September 16 with a hard-earned fifth-round TKO against Rhassan Muhareb. Later that year, on October 19, Vlad secured the A1 72 kg World championship by defeating Yazid Boussaha.
On January 17, 2019, Vlad inked a two-year deal with Glory. His debut took place on June 22 at Glory 66 in Paris, where he was narrowly defeated by Michael Palandre via split decision. However, on October 12 at Glory 69 in Düsseldorf, he earned a win against Artur Saladiak.
Between October 19 and 27, Vlad participated in the WAKO Senior World Championships in the highly competitive 75 kg division. Despite suffering a severe cut during the semifinals, he decisively overcame top contenders such as Nikola Todorovic (2019 Combat Games champion), Max Spodarenko, Ali Cakir (whom he had previously knocked out at W5’s 2017 Grand Prix), and Teodor Hristov to claim the gold medal.
Bare knuckle boxing career
Tuinov made his bare-knuckle boxing debut against Makhmud Musalov ("Chess Player") at Top Dog FC 9 on June 25, 2021, securing victory with a second-round knockout via right cross. On September 24, 2021, during Top Dog FC X, he knocked out Ukrainian fighter Vitalii Kovalenko in the second round. On July 16, 2022, Tuinov faced Pavel Shelest at Top Dog FC 15; their bout concluded in a draw after three rounds without any knockouts.
He entered the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship scene on April 5, 2025, at BKFC 72 Dubai: Day 2 by defeating Sabri Ben Henia through a first-round technical knockout.
Professional boxing career
Tuinov's debut in professional boxing occurred on October 7, 2022, when he achieved a knockout win in the second round against Julian Lane.
