As an amateur, he won a gold medal at the 2015 European Championships in the welterweight bracket.[1]
Professional career
[edit]After defeating Liu Wei in his first match in the welterweight division of the 2016 Summer Olympics he lost a 3-0 decision to eventual silver medalist (and 2017 World Amateur Champion) Shakhram Giyasov of Uzbekistan.[2]
Stanionis made his professional debut on April 9, 2017, against Rasheed Olawale Lawal. He won the fight by a first-round knockout.[3] Stanionis notched three more victories in 2017, stopping Isaac Freeman on July 30,[4] Oscar Valenzuela on September 23,[5] and winning a unanimous decision against Todd Manuel on October 14.[6]
Stanionis began 2018 with a fourth-round technical knockout of Hector Munoz on March 10, 2018. He followed this up with a third-round technical knockout of Erick Daniel Martinez on June 16, and by winning a unanimous decision against Levan Ghvamichava on August 24.[7]
Stanionis fought thrice in 2019. He first won a unanimous decision against Samuel Figueroa on March 9, 2019, which was followed by stoppage victories over Evincii Dixon on October 26, and Julio Cesar Sanchez on December 21.[8]
Stanionis was scheduled to face on November 4, 2020. He won the fight by a ninth-round knockout, which was preceded by two knockdowns in the same round.[9] Stanionis was next scheduled to fight Janer Gonzalez just one month later, on December 16, 2020. He won the fight by a ninth-round knockout, with two of the three judges also awarding him all eight preceding rounds.[10]
Stanionis was scheduled to face the one-time WBO light welterweight title challenger Thomas Dulorme on April 10, 2021, in his first twelve-round bout. He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.[11] Stanionis faced the former WBA welterweight titlist Luis Collazo on August 7, 2021. The fight ended in a no-contest, following an accidental clash of heads which caused a cut in Collazo’s right eyelid.[12]
On May 4, 2024 in Las Vegas, Stanionis was scheduled to defend his WBA "Regular" welterweight title against Gabriel Maestre.[13] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[14]
