Professional career

In 2006 Alexejew turned pro at Spotlight Boxing , a sister company of Universum Box-Promotion . His trainer was Fritz Sdunek . He began his professional career first in the heavyweight division, but then switched to the cruiserweight division after a few fights .

On January 17, 2009 he boxed against Victor Emilio Ramírez in the Düsseldorf Burg-Wächter Castello for the interim world championship of the WBO association. The highly favored Alexejew surprisingly lost the fight against the unknown Argentine by giving up in the ring break for the tenth round. Alexejew had never been in the ring for more than six rounds in his build-up fights and in the second half of the fight he got increasingly stamina problems, as a result of which he repeatedly had to take heavy hits in the ninth round.

Alexejev won his next fights in 2011 against DeAndrey Abron and Damian Norris prematurely by technical knockout.
