Wrestling career

Age-group level

As a cadet, Bayramov placed third and second at the 2017 European and World Championships respectively.[4] The following year, he was able to claim both championships and also became the Youth Olympic Champion.[5] As a junior, he went on to win the European Championship but placed third at the World Championships in 2019.[6] After a second-place finish at the Senior European Championships, Bayramov claimed the Junior European Continental championship in 2021.[7]

Senior level

2019–2020

Bayramov made his international freestyle debut aged 18 at the 2019 U23 European Championships, where he lost his first match to place 11th.[8] Despite his placement at the European Championships, Bayramov was able to claim the U23 World Championship after four victories, becoming a three–time non–senior World and Olympic Champion.[9] In 2020, he placed third at the prestigious Yasar Dogu International.[10]

2021

To start off the Olympic year, Bayramov placed third at the Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane, only losing to World Championship silver medalist from the United States James Green.[11] A month later, he placed third at the Ukrainian Memorial, notably defeating US Open champion Joseph McKenna and Junior World Champion Erik Arushanian.[12] In April, Bayramov moved up to 70 kilograms and claimed a silver medal from the European Championships, losing to Israil Kasumov in the finale.[13]

On August 5, Bayramov moved up to 74 kilograms and competed at the Summer Olympics, where after a win over Vasyl Mykhailov from Ukraine, he was downed by two-time World Champion Frank Chamizo Italy to place eight.[14] He was able to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics as Khadzhimurad Gadzhiyev was not able to compete due to injury.[15]

2022

He won the gold medal in his event at the Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series 2022 held in Rome, Italy.[16] He competed in the 74 kg event at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia.[17]

2024

He won one of the bronze medals in the men's 74 kg event at the 2024 European Wrestling Championships held in Bucharest, Romania.[18] He competed at the 2024 European Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan and he earned a quota place for Azerbaijan for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[19]
