Fatih Çakıroğlu only broke the knot in 2002, when he won an EM bronze medal with four wins at the European Light Heavyweight Championships in Baku . He won this medal with a victory over Wadym Tassoew from Ukraine . At the 2002 World Cup in Tehran , he lost his first fight against Eldari Luka Kurtanidze from Georgia , who was world champion in this weight class this year and 2003 . Because of the peculiar rules in force at the time, a victory in his next fight over Bartłomiej Bartnicki from Poland was of little use to him.

Although he defeated the Mongols Enkhtuya Tuvinshintur in his first fight, but lost in his second fight against Aljaksandr Shamarau from Belarus , which he was eliminated and ended up in 9th place. A small consolation for him was then the victory at the CISM military world championship in 2004 in Vilnius , where he won the light heavyweight title before the Belarusian M. Michilowitsch u. Jamal E. Mohammed from Qatar.

In 2006 Fatih Çakıroğlu decided to switch to the heavyweight division in order to be able to avoid constant training. His next assignment at an international championship took place in 2007 at the European Championship in Sofia . There he immediately succeeded in winning a medal in the heavyweight division. He defeated Ruslan Bassijew from Armenia and David Vála from the Czech Republic , but lost in the semifinals to the multiple world champion Kuramagomed Kuramagomedow from Russia .
