He became a member of the sports club Satamoshno Baku , where he trained by Senaga Alaskarov and Axat Aliyev. He found his economic base in the Azerbaijani army.

At his very first start for Azerbaijan in an international championship, the European Championship in 1993 in Istanbul , he won the title of European flyweight champion. He defeated Andrij Kalaschnykow from Ukraine in the final . He was cheered loudly by the Turkish audience because of his ethnic closeness as an Azerbaijani to the Turks. At the 1993 World Cup in Stockholm , he just missed a medal with 4th place. He lost it in the battle for the bronze medal against Alfred Ter-Mkrtchyan from Germany on points.

After a poor performance at the European Championships in Athens in 1994 , where he only finished 13th in the flyweight division, he celebrated great success again at the 1994 World Championships in Tampere . He fought his way up to the final in Tampere, but was defeated in this again against Alfred Ter-Mkrtchyan and became vice- world champion .

In the years 1995 to 1997 Natiq Eyvazov could not place himself in the medal ranks at the international championships, but finished with a 5th place at the 1995 European championship in Besançon and a 6th place at the European championship in Budapest as well as a further 6th place at the European Championship in Kouvola, Finland . He missed the jump to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta .

At the 1998 European Championships in Minsk , Natiq Eyvazov defeated the German starter Oleg Kutscherenko in the semifinals just by points (3: 2 technical points), but lost in the final against Boris Ambarzumow from Russia on points (0: 3 technical points). But he became vice European champion and won a medal again after three years without medals. In 1999 he won another medal at a European championship. In Sofia he defeated u. a. Alfred Ter-Mkrtchyan on points (3: 1 technical points), lost in the semifinals to Dariusz Jabłoński from Poland and defeated Simeon Milew from Bulgaria after a hard fight with 3: 2 technical in the fight for the European Championship bronze medal . Points. At the 1999 World Cup in Athens he won high points over Nepes Gukulow from Turkmenistan (11: 0) and Robert Sollie from Norway (10: 0), but a defeat against Petr Svehla from the Czech Republic (1: 3 technical points) threw him on the third lap out of the race. Therefore he only finished 10th.

In 2000 Natiq Eyvazov managed to qualify for the Olympic Games in Sydney . After a victory over Jotham Pellew from New Zealand he lost there in the 2nd round against Lázaro Rivas from Cuba on points (1: 6 technical points). According to the rules of that time, he was only able to fight for 7th place with a points win over former world champion Ercan Yıldız from Turkey (3-0 technical points).

After that, Natiq Eyvazov was still active until 2004. However , he did not qualify for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens . A 6th place at the 2001 European Championships in Istanbul and 6th place at the 2002 European Championships in Seinäjoki were the best placings he achieved in these years.
