Kossobutskiy was expected to face Pavel Sour for the vacant WBA International heavyweight title on 20 February 2021, at the Universum Gym in Hamburg, Germany.^[7] Sour was forced to withdraw from the title fight after testing positive COVID-19 and was replaced by Onoriode Ehwarieme. Kossobutskiy knocked Ehwarieme down once in the third round, before finishing him in the fourth.^[8] After capturing the WBA secondary title, Kossobutskiy signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren.^[9]

Kossobutskiy made his first title defense against Joey Dawejko on 21 August 2021, at the same venue and location in which he had won the secondary WBA belt. The bout was broadcast domestically in Germany by BILD+ and internationally as a FITE TV pay-per-view.^[10] Kossobutskiy won the fight by a second-round left hook knockout. Dawejko later claimed the finishing shot had landed to the back of his head, although the referee didn't seem to agree with him.^[11]

Kossobutskiy faced former WBC world title challenger Johann Duhaupas for the vacant WBC International heavyweight title on 21 May 2022.^[12] He won the fight by a fifth-round stoppage, as Duhaupas retired from the bout before the start of the sixth round.^[13] On Aug 26 2023 Kossobuskiy fought Efe Ajagba.
