Biography(references)Yan was born to a father of mixed Chinese-Georgian descent and a Russian mother. In sixth grade, Yan began training in ITF Taekwon-do and often fought in the streets and at the school in his area, so his family often moved to try and prevent this. Yan's older brother trained in boxing in the city of Dudinka, Krasnoyarsk Krai, and Petr wanted to learn how to box too. Petr Yan also graduated from the Siberian Federal University in the city of Omsk with a degree in Physical Culture and Sport.
Fighter Trivia(references)Yan and his wife have two sons. During Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Yan posted an image on social media of the countries' flags and a dove of peace.
