In the quarter finals he met Gregory Tony and won the fight by 2 round TKO. In the semi-finals he stepped into the ring against his own sparring partner Alexey Ignashov and after the hard fought battle the judges ruled the fight for Ignashov's favor.
In December 2003 he continued his strong performances at the tournaments winning the K-1 Spain GP in Barcelona.
On August 7, 2004 Alexander Ustinov was invited to participate at K-1 World GP 2004 Battle of Bellagio II. On his biggest tournament of his career, he was matched up against the towering South African fighter Jan "The Giant" Nortje. Alexander Ustinov won the battle but unfortunately was unable to continue due to a deep laceration on his shin and was replaced by the American Scott Lighty.
In 2005 he won two more K-1 tournaments in Milan, Italy and Lommel, Belgium as well as making his professional boxing debut.
After winning another K-1 tournament in France in January 2006, his next fight was in K-1 Slovakia against Bjorn Bregy from Switzerland.
