He competed at the 2024 European Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan, and advanced to the semifinals, where he met two-time World champion Frank Chamizo.{{Cite web |title=2024 European Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament Results Book |url=https://cdn.uww.org/2024-04/final-book-seniors_european_og_qualifier.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240408164811/https://cdn.uww.org/2024-04/final-book-seniors_european_og_qualifier.pdf |archive-date=8 April 2024 |access-date=8 April 2024 |website=United World Wrestling}} Chamizo stated that he was offered a $300,000 bribe to lose to Bayramov, which Chamizo refused. Several of Chamizo's takedowns were not counted by the referee and the match was tied 8-8 into the final seconds, when Chamizo scored a takedown and earned two points. However, the referee overturned the points after Bayramov's coach challenged. This decision was heavily criticized by the Italian Wrestling Federation and other observers, as Bayramov's knees clearly touched the mat. Although the match was tied, Bayramov was declared the winner on criteria, and consequently moved into the finals and qualified for the Olympics. Chamizo accused the referee of match fixing.{{cite news |last=Chiusano |first=Mattia |date=8 April 2024 |title=Chamizo attacca gli arbitri della lotta: "Venduti e corrotti".

However, due to a policy the result could not be changed after the winner is officially declared.{{cite web |url=https://uww.org/article/uww-decision-regarding-chamizo-bayramov-bout |title=UWW decision regarding Chamizo-Bayramov bout |date=23 April 2024 |website=United World Wrestling |access-date=23 April 2024 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240423174223/https://uww.org/article/uww-decision-regarding-chamizo-bayramov-bout |archive-date=23 April 2024}}
