He lost a decision to Karim Ghajji at Nuit des Champions in Marseilles on November 24, 2012.

In 2010 Dmitry continued his winning ways remaining the W.K.N. organizations middleweight world champion in Thai-boxing by defeating the talented Yohan Lidon at the start of 2010 and beating the Dutch-based Moroccan Tarek Slimani to claim the W.I.P.U. "King of the Ring" world title. He has suffered a few setbacks as well, losing to nemesis Artem Levin at the I.F.M.A. European Championships, and conceding a decision loss to legendary Aussie John Wayne Parr in an unsuccessful move down in weight to challenge for the W.K.N. super welterweight world title. He also won more gold medals at amateur level, winning the 75 kg category at the W.A.K.O. European and I.F.M.A. world championships respectively.

Dmitry kicked off 2008 by winning the W.K.N. European Grand Prix title, a four-man tournament fought under Muay Thai rules in Geneva, Switzerland. He then followed in the footsteps of stable mate Kulebin by winning the W.M.C. I-1 title – this one the Grand Slam 72 kg version – in Hong Kong. There was some disappointment at the end of the year, however, when Dmitry was knocked out of the Season 2 qualifier of "The Contender Asia" held in Russia by multiple world champion Artem Levin at the semi final stage. The fact that the Contender Asia Season 2 show would never come to light did soften the blow somewhat. Dmitry had success on the amateur circuit as well, winning gold at the I.M.F.A. European championships held in Zgorzelec, Poland.

The young Belarusian regained his W.M.C. I-1 title the following year, defeating South African Vuyisile Colossa by split decision in the final. He followed up this victory by defeating 2007 W.K.A. world champion Shane Campbell for the second time to win the Muay Thai version of the middleweight W.K.N. title. He carried on his form on the professional circuit onto the amateur circuit, winning a second amateur world championships by claiming gold at the I.F.M.A. event in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dmitry started training in Taekwondo at 13 years old before beginning Muay Thai aged 16. At the prestigious "Kick Fighter Gym" in his home town of Minsk he developed his blossoming skills by training alongside world champions such as Andrei Kulebin and Dmitry Shakuta. He would be a very quick learner, winning a gold medal in the 67 kg junior category at the 2006 W.M.F. World Muaythai Championships in Bangkok, Thailand, aged 17. Dmitry then went on to have a very good 2007, winning a gold medal at the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2007 and then followed it up with his first professional title - winning the World Kickboxing Network (W.K.N.) middleweight world title, in Kostroma, Russia before rounding off the year in style by adding the professional W.A.K.O. world title to his collection.
