In 2006 he won his first medal at the European Junior Championships in Szombathely / Hungary. In the bantamweight he took 3rd place behind Machmud Magomedow from Russia and Swetolaw Neitschew, Bulgaria. At the Junior World Championships in Beijing in 2007 he reached a good 5th place in bantamweight. The winner there was the later Olympic champion Jamal Otarsultanov from Russia. In 2009 he started for Ukraine as a senior at the European Championships in Vilnius. He came in the bantamweight to a victory over Ibrahim Yonulmaz from Turkey, but lost his next fight against Mihran Jaburjan from Armenia, was eliminated and came in 8th place.

After this championship he decided to start for Bulgaria in the future. But he had to accept a two-year ban. In Bulgaria he starts for Slavia Sofia and is trained by Nikolai Stojanow and Dimitrov Schelesko. Since 2011 he has also been wrestling for RWG Mömbris-Königshofen in the German Bundesliga.

He met there at featherweight in his first fight against the Japanese Kenichi Yumoto , against whom he lost just on points (1: 2 rounds, 5: 6 points). Since Yumoto did not reach the final, he was eliminated and only came in 26th place.

In 2012, Vladimir Dubow became Bulgarian champion for the first time. The starting places at the Olympic Games in London and at the European Championships in Belgrade, however, Anatoli Guidea took away from him, so that he was not used at an international championship this year.
