Victor Manuel Pasillas (born February 17, 1992) is an American professional boxer who competes in the featherweight division.

On November 12, 2011, Pasillas beat veteran Jose Garcia to win his professional debut. This bout was on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III. [4]
Pasillas was initially signed by Top Rank but the relationship eventually ended. He moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2014 after being brought north to spar Nonito Donaire at Undisputed Boxing Gym in San Francisco. [5]
On January 23, 2021, Pasillas faced undefeated Ra'eese Aleem for the WBA interim super bantamweight title at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Connecticut. Pasillas suffered his first professional loss when Aleem dropped him four times (in rounds two, six, nine, and eleven) before stopping him via technical knockout in the eleventh round. [6]
After the loss to Aleem, Pasillas experienced a lengthy period of inactivity, with multiple training camps and scheduled fights falling through. His BoxRec profile was listed as inactive for a period, which affected his visibility to matchmakers. [5]
In March 2024, Pasillas was scheduled to face Jorge Villegas in a six-round bout at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, California, marking his return after a three-year layoff. [5] However, Pasillas missed weight for this fight.
On May 23, 2025, Pasillas returned to the ring after a 14-month layoff, facing Carlos Jackson at The Avalon in Hollywood, California. The fight was broadcast on DAZN. Pasillas won the bout via technical knockout in the seventh round, improving his record to 18-1. [7]
Pasillas moved to Redwood City, California in 2014 and now considers the San Francisco Bay Area his second home. He credits his wife, Jasmine, who serves as his nutritionist, for helping him maintain proper weight for recent fights. [5] Pasillas has stated that he now makes a six-figure income outside of boxing while continuing his professional career. [5]
Professional record: 18 wins, 1 loss (11 KOs) [8]
