Between 2006 and 2007 he completed several prestige fights. He delivered a tough fight in 2007 against the strong Rafael Pratnicki. After five tough rounds, Arslan won the fight on points. In 2008 he fought against Oliver Hahn at the Champions Club in the Bamberg Arena . This was a prestige struggle and Arslan's first defeat.

In 2009 he fought against Levon Akopian. He was miserably injured and broke his right leg. The fight was stopped after the 1st round.

After a 1-year hiatus, he climbed the ring again in June 2010. He won against Frederic Meiß in the 9th round and won the WKA World Championship title. In 2011 he defended this title against Dominik Hasselbek. In 2012 he won the world title against Jozsef Siklodi at the WKA in Nürtlingen and knocked him out in the first round. The fight was scheduled for 12 rounds. He recorded his 25th knockout victory in a total of 41 fights.
