He was drawn to the sport as a small child after watching action films like Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. He dreamed of getting in the ring, but his hometown was too small to have a gym. However, at the age of nine he moved with his family to Dzhubga over 6500 miles away, where they found him a coach and he began his training.He won Russian junior championships in 2004 and 2005 as well as a gold medal in the light-heavyweight event at the 2010 World University Boxing Championships in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.Fayfer made his professional debut on 30 August 2013, defeating Ukrainian rival Roman Mirzoev via unanimous decision (UD) in Blagoveshchenskaya, Russia.

Fayfer added seven more wins in 2016, capping the year off with a first-round knockout (KO) of former IBO world champion Fulgencio Zúñiga in Montpellier that improved his record as a pro to 18–0.For his next fight, he matched up against Argentine veteran Cesar David Crenz in Saint Petersburg on 25 March 2017 for the vacant IBF International cruiserweight title.
