In 2013 Mammadov reached the finals at the 2013 European Amateur Boxing Championships in Minsk and won the silver medal.[5] He won a bronze medal at the 2013 AIBA World Boxing Championships after losing to Clemente Russo again.[6]

By 2015 Mammadov moved down from the heavyweight (91 kg) to light heavyweight division (81 kg), winning a gold medal at the 2015 European Games. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, he was defeated in the quarterfinals by the eventual silver medalist Adilbek Niyazymbetov of Kazakhstan.[1] Mammadov was the flag bearer for Azerbaijan during the Parade of Nations.[7]
