Amateur career
The son of a Ukrainian and a West African from Sierra Leone began boxing at the age of seven and won 302 of 318 fights. The multiple national champion with impressive clout won the silver medal in featherweight at the European Cadet Championships in Athens in 2000 . He was only defeated in the final against the Romanian Ionuț Gheorghe . In the following year he won the welterweight championship in Liverpool by knocking out the Russian Dmitri Tschudinow in the final . He also won the Cadet World Championships in Baku that same year , defeating Russia's Artur Beterbijew and Elçin Əlizadə from Azerbaijan, among others .
2005 followed the second place in the middleweight division at the world championships in Mianyang . With premature victories against Nabil Kassel from Algeria, Donatas Bondorovas from Lithuania and Mamadou Diambang from France, as well as a points win with 28:22 against Mohamed Hikal from Egypt, he made it to the final, where he was defeated by the Russian Matwei Korobow .
In 2006 he started in the light heavyweight division at the European Championships in Plovdiv . With premature victories against Dawit Ziklauri from Georgia, Andrej Miruk from Belarus, Imre Szellő from Hungary and Constantin Bejenaru from Romania, he made it to the final, where he lost this time to Artur Beterbijew and thus won the silver medal.
He had one last significant success in the European Olympic qualification in Pescara , Italy , where he competed in the light heavyweight division against Elnur Qədirov from Azerbaijan (knockout), Igor Conobeew from Moldova (34:13), Robert Woge from Germany (25: 7) , Bahram Muzaffer from Turkey (knockout) and Ramasan Magomedow from Belarus ( walkover ) prevailed and won the tournament.
However , he was not allowed to participate in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing because he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs during a doping control and was subsequently banned from competition for two years.
