Currently also his job.

In the youth and junior age he did not appear as a top wrestler. It was only as an adult that he attracted the attention of the Russian Wrestling Association through success on a national level. In January 2011 he was therefore allowed to start at the renowned Iwan Poddubny tournament in Tyumen in the welterweight division, but had to be content with 11th place there. In the same year, however, he achieved remarkable successes at several international tournaments in Sassari, Targoviste / Romania and Vantaa / Finland.

In 2013 he won his first medal at the Russian welterweight championship with a 3rd place behind Ilyas Magomadow and Alexander Chechirkin . In May 2013 he was part of the Russian team that fought with Iran in the United States to keep wrestling Olympic. He started there in the middleweight division and came to a victory over Jordan Holm in New York. In November 2013 he was together with Alexander Chechirkin in the Russian team that started at the Oleg Karawajew Memorial in Minsk , a team tournament, and came in first.

In January 2014 Yevgeny Salejew retired at the Ivan Poddubny tournament in Tyumen in the welterweight early from came only to 15th place. Nevertheless, the Russian Wrestling Association continued to rely on him. In March 2014 he won the welterweight division at Ljubomir-Ivanovic-Gedza-International in Belgrade in front of Viktor Nemes, Serbia and Bozo Starcevic, Croatia. In May 2014 he was part of the Russian team at the Team World Cup in Tehran together with Roman Vlasov . The Russian team lost there in the final against Iran with 2: 6 wins and thus finished 2nd. In July 2014, Yevgeny Saleyev started at the Wladyslaw Pytlasinski Memorial in Gdansk for the first time in the weight class up to 80 kg body weight. He won ahead of Wiktor Sasunowski , Belarus, Ramasan Abacharajew, Russia and Tadeusz Michalik , Poland. After this successful dress rehearsal, Evgeni Salejew was used at the World Championships in Tashkent in the weight class up to 80 kg. There he was able to convince with his courageous fighting style and reached the final battle with victories over Charprit Singh, India, Bozo Starcevic and the ex-world champion Selçuk Çebi , Turkey, in which he was defeated on points against the experienced European champion of 2014 Péter Bácsi from Hungary . He became vice world champion.

In 2015 Yevgeny Saleev also won the 1st European Games in Baku in the weight class up to 80 kg. On the way to this success he defeated four very strong wrestlers with Alexander Schisman , Ukraine, Julius Matuzevicius, Lithuania, Wiktor Sasunowski, Belarus and Rafik Huseinow , Azerbaijan. He was then used in the same weight class at the World Championships in Las Vegas. He won there over Rafik Huseinow and Eduard Sargisjan, Armenia, but lost in the quarterfinals to Lascha Gobadze from Georgia. Since he did not reach the final, he was eliminated and came in 8th place, which was certainly disappointing for him.

In January 2016, Yevgeny Saleev won the "Ivan Poddubny" memorial in Tyumen, which is very important for Russian wrestlers, in the weight class up to 85 kg. He referred his compatriots Bekchan Osdojew, Dawid Chakwetadze and Soruko Kodsokow to their places. At the 2016 European Championships in Riga, where he started again in the weight class up to 85 kg, he first defeated Jon Isaksen from Norway, Maksim Manukjan from Armenia and Viktor Lőrincz from Hungary. In the semi-finals he suffered a narrow point defeat against Roberti Kobliaschwili from Georgia. He then also lost the battle for a bronze medal against Tadeusz Michalik from Poland just on points (2: 3) and so ended up with 5th place without a medal.
