In Herning / Denmark he reached the featherweight after a victory over Jansel Ramirez (Dominican Republic) and a defeat against Omid Haji Noroozi (Iran) only the 17th place.

In 2010 he came in 10th place at the European Championships in Baku after a surprising defeat against Söner Sucu from Romania. He did better at the World Cup this year in Moscow , because he came there after a victory over Jansel Ramirez, a defeat against Həsən Əliyev (Azerbaijan), victories over Tonimir Sokol from Croatia and Ruslan Tümönbajew (Kyrgyzstan) and a defeat against the Kazakhs Almat Kebispajew on a good 5th place.

He also won a medal at the 2011 World Cup in Istanbul. He lost his first fight against Almat Kebispajew there, but then secured a bronze medal with victories over Ruslan Tümönbajew, Carl Anders Ekström, Denmark and Luis Ignacio Liendo, Venezuela. With this medal, he secured a place at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

In 2012 Iwo Angelow won a silver medal at the European Championships again in Belgrade with victories over Eusebiu Diaconu from Romania, Aslan Abdullina (Russia), Irakli Chochua (Georgia) and Kamran Mammadow (Azerbaijan) and a defeat in the final against the Slovakian Istvan Levai . At the Olympic Games, despite good fights, he could not fulfill his dream of a medal. There he came to a victory over Ellis Coleman (USA), then lost to Omid Noroozi, won over Sheng Jiang (China) and lost in his second consolation round match against his feared opponent Almat Kebispajew and thus reached 7th place.

In March 2013 he was finally able to win his first title at an international championship. He became European champion in Tbilisi with victories over Lorenzo Gentile (Italy), Kamran Mammadow, Maksim Kacharski (Belarus) and Iwan Kujlakow (Russia).

In his victories over the almost equal opponents Edward Barsegjan, Woo Seung-jae and Iwan Kujlakow, he drew on his enormous experience and his strong will to win.

In April and May 2016, respectively, he clearly missed qualifying for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro at two qualifying tournaments in Ulaan-Baatar and Istanbul with a 5th and a 16th place.
