The first big achievement came to him at the Ziolkowski International 2018 in the 79 kg category, where he placed 1st and didn't give up a single point. In the final match he beat the Georgian 2012 Olympian Davit Khutsishvili.[6][7] At the Russian Nationals 2019 he placed 3rd,[8] and in August 2019 at the Alexander Medved tournament in Minsk he won a gold medal.[9] At the Golden Grand Prix Ivan Yarygin 2020 he came in first; in the final match he beat the World Championship 2018 bronze medalist Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov of Russia. At the European Championships 2020 he faced countryman Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov in the final match, where he lost by decision.[10]

He competed at the 2024 European Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan hoping to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[11] He was eliminated in his second match and he did not qualify for the Olympics.[11]

A month later, he earned a quota place for Bulgaria for the Olympics at the 2024 World Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Istanbul, Turkey.[12] Ramazanov entered his first Olympic competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. He defeated the biggest favourite Hassan Yazdani 7-1 in the final match of the Men's freestyle wrestling 86 kg and won the gold medal.[13] This was the first Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling for Bulgaria in 28 years.[14]

Ramazanov has been representing the Moscow-based CSKA wrestling club since 2019, under wrestling coach Vadim Biyaz.[15]

After the 2025 European championships it was announced that Ramazanov had parted with the Bulgarian national team.[1][2]
