Akhramenko had a successful amateur career, winning three world and European titles in thaiboxing. On November 2, 1998, he won a gold medal at European Open Muaythai Championships in Kyiv, Ukraine.[3] After making his K-1 debut in 2001 he fought on various K-1 tournaments in Europe. He also works as a trainer at Chinuk Gym and is the sparring partner of Zabit Samedov

In July 2006 Akhramenko was sentenced to jail for attempted armed robbery. He was on parole for previous convictions of beating a police officer and possession of drugs.[4]

On September 6, 2009, Akhramenko made his return to the ring after completing a three-year jail sentence. He won the fight against Evgeny Makarov by unanimous decision.[1]
