At the 2010 Asian Games he lost his second bout to Elshod Rasulov. At the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships he beat three fighters including Joe Ward then lost again to veteran Elshod Rasulov (UZB). He qualified for the Olympics.

In the final round, Rouzbahani gained the upper hand and upped his work rate and Muzaffer could not cope with the sudden injection of pace.
