who competes in the lightweight division.
Early life
Tuinov was born in
Orel, Russia to Russian parents. He got involved with kickboxing by accident. Vlad was in fact on his way to a public swimming pool at a local sports center when he walked into the wrong door and right into a class being taught by Andrey Chadin.
After talking to each other Vlad decided to start training in kickboxing.
Professional kickboxing career
After 11 professional fights, Vlad fought fellow up-and-coming Russian kickboxer Alexander Kotov on May 9, 2014, in a 5 round fight for the FKR 60 kg Russian title. Vlad would go on to win by unanimous decision. That same year on August 4, Vlad would again go up against another Russian fighter for a second title. This time Vlad defeated Murad Abdulaev for the WFMC 65 kg Russian title by 4th round KO.
Two years later, on March 6, 2016 Vlad defeated Serbian fighter Nikola Cimesa by unanimous decision, in a 5 round fight, for the WKU 71 kg European title. Later that year, Vlad added W5's coveted 71 kg European title to his waist, when he defeated Turkey's Erkan Varol by TKO in round 3.
2017 turned out be a very successful year for Vlad as he hoisted 3 more titles and twice defended his W5 71 kg European title. On April 6, in a winner takes all fight, Vlad defeated the Dutchman Massaro Glunder by unanimous decision, in a 5 round fight, to retain his W5 71 kg European title and add the 72.5 kg W5 Intercontinental title. On June 17, Vlad defeated France's Bryton Mabel by unanimous decision in 5 rds to become the MTA 71 kg European champion. On September 16 Vlad defended his 71 kg W5 European belt for the second time. He defeated the tough Danish fighter Rhassan Muhareb in what would prove to be a very tough battle for Vlad, as Rhassan was not only able to withstand numerous knock out shots that Vlad was landing but was also finding multiple ways to get through Vlad's defense and land quite a few devastating blows himself. However, by rd. 5, Rhassan was not able to keep up the pace that Vlad had set and ended up being TKO-ed in rd. 5. Later that year, on October 19 Vlad defeated Yazid Boussaha to win his 3rd title of the year, the A1 72 kg World title.
On January 17, 2019 Vlad Tuinov signed a two year contract with Glory. In his debut fight, on June 22, 2019, Tuinov lost by Split Decision to Michael Palandre at Glory 66 in Paris. On October 12, 2019, Vlad fought his second fight under Glory where he defeated Artur Saladiak at Glory 69 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
From October 19–27 Vlad fought in th
WAKO Senior World Championshipswhere he won gold against Nikola Todorovic, who was the 2019 Combat Games winner. To reach the finals, Vlad had to fight some top competitors in the 75 kg weight category, like Belorussian Max Spodarenko, Turkish Ali Cakir, who Vlad faced and defeated by K.O. in the first round at
W5's 2017 Grand Prix "Kitek" and Bulgarian Teodor Hristov. Vlad won each bout 3:0, but in the semi-finals against Teodor, Vlad was badly cut. However, he was able to overcome the injury and win in the finals 3:0 to take gold.
Bare knuckle boxing career
Tuinov made his bare knuckle boxing debut against a fighter billed simply as "Chess Player" at Top Dog FC 9 on June 25, 2021. He won the fight by a second-round knockout.
Tuinov faced Pavel Shelest at Top Dog FC 15 on July 16, 2022. The fight ended in a draw, as neither fighter was able to knock the other out withing the allotted three rounds.
Tuinov faced Makhmud Musalov at Top Dog FC 16 on September 2, 2022. He won the fight by a second-round knockout, flooring Musalov with a right cross.
