He quickly developed into an outstanding boxer and in 2004 was Cuban junior champion. He started this year already with the Cuban Championship of seniors, and came in the light welterweight behind Estenio Gutiérrez and Yudel Johnson on a very good 3rd place.

He drew his own conclusions and moved to the next higher weight class, the welterweight division. He came in this weight class but at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro is not used. Once at this championship several boxers left the Cuban team and nachsuchten for political asylum in the United States and in Germany, Cuba did not participate in the 2007 World Championships in Chicago, because there " the security of the Cuban team was not guaranteed". In reality, we had probably afraid that other boxers would not return from the trip abroad.

Sarsekbajew dictated this fight and let Carlos Banteur no chance of victory ( 9:18 ). Carlos Banteur so did not make it, like no other of his squadron mates to win a gold medal in boxing in Beijing.

At the end of 2008, but he then won the World Cup in Moscow in December, the competition in the welterweight division. In the semifinals, where he won against Jack Culcay - Keth of Germany and in the final against Dilshod Mahmudow from Uzbekistan respectively with 15:4 hits on points.
