He won his first fight on July 17, 2015 against the Englishman Sean Carter unanimously on points, but injured his shoulder in the first round of the duel. With this injury, he played ten days later in the round of 16 and lost against the American Chris Gruetzemacher also on points.
On April 8, 2016, he made his debut with the organization M-1 Global and fought against the eventual champion Alexander Butenko. However, he lost this fight unanimously on points.
