Austin Trout, a former WBA light middleweight champion will be competing as a wildcard entry in TCL’s All-Star match. Some former notable opponents of Trout include Miguel Cotto, Jermall and Jermell Charlo, and Canelo Alvarez. Trout will face off against Vlad Panin of the LA Tengoose.
Belarus-born LA fighter, Panin has a 16-1 Professional boxing record and an 8-6 record in TCL action. The 27-year-old last fought in a professional ring against Ricardo Lara in Nove,ber 2022 winning via first round knockout.
Austin "No Doubt" Trout, 37, was only in action last December, winning the Texas super-welterweight title against Jose Sanchez Charles in Hidalgo, near Mexico City.
“I am excited at the opportunity to face off against an accomplished fighter as Austin,” said Panin. “At the same time, he has no experience in the fast paced one round format of TCL and I just don’t see him being able to keep up with me.”
“Fighting is fighting. Nothing on Vlad’s resume indicates any possibility he can matchup with my skill set, said Trout. “I am very confident I can adjust to the format and will take care of business on August 20th."
