Angelo Peña

Born in Spain and raised in Santo Domingo, Angelo Peña moved to Switzerland as a teenager, settling in Ostermundigen near Bern. Today, he lives in Olten with his fiancée. His roots run deep in Dominican boxing culture: as a child, he trained with uncles and cousins, watched fights, and talked about boxing. It was never just a hobby. Peña learned early to assert himself – both in the ring and in life. Ambition has been his constant companion. Those who know him say: losing is not an option, not even in card games.

Peña is quick with words, but his true talent shows in the ring. He doesn’t overthink – he acts with intuition, timing, and the confidence of a boxer who has lived the craft from a young age. After successes in kickboxing and as a Swiss amateur champion, he made the decisive switch to the professional ranks. Early in his career, he worked part-time as a barista, but for several years now, everything has revolved around boxing.

He currently trains in Las Vegas under Ismael Salas, a legendary Cuban trainer – a choice that reflects his single-minded focus on becoming a world champion. Peña lives with discipline, sacrifice, and unwavering focus, always looking forward.

He is the most successful Swiss professional boxer since Stefan Angehrn. As a multiple WBO Inter-Continental Champion, he has established himself in the top ten of the world rankings, maintaining an undefeated streak that brings him step by step closer to a world title fight. For fans, this means high-level action and international spectacle. Peña takes full risks, putting everything on the line – making every fight an unforgettable experience.
