He won the SUPERKOMBAT New Heroes Middleweight Championship in March 2015, with a unanimous decision win over Julian Imeri.[5] Paraschiv had fought Cedric Manhoef for the same title a year before, but their fight ended in a draw.[6]

Amansio fought Chris Ngimbi for the SUPERKOMBAT Middleweight title in November 2016. He had fought him just a month before for the vacant title, but lost by decision. He was more successful in the rematch, and defeated Ngimbi by unanimous decision.[7]

Paraschiv was stopped for the only time ins his career in controversial circumstances to lose a lightweight bout against the defending champion Armen Petrosyan. Bellator booked a rematch after the stoppage at Bellator Kickboxing 8.[8]

He defended his SUPERKOMBAT Middleweight title against Rosario Presti, during OSS Fighters 04.[9] He successfully defended the title with a unanimous decision win.[10]

On 15 October 2020, he signed with boxing's MTK Global.[11]

Paraschiv will make his promotional debut on short notice on July 17, 2023 against K-1's former super lightweight and welterweight champion Masaaki Noiri at K-1 World GP 2023.[12]
