He is the current World Muay Thai Council (WMC) Intercontinental and EMF European Muay Thai champion. He is the former Glory Middleweight Champion.

Artem moved up to light heavyweight after the SportAccord Combat Games in 2010.
The much-anticipated fight between Artem Levin and Simon Marcus was scheduled for the third time and set for December 21, 2012 in Ekaterinburg, Russia and then February 23, 2013, before eventually settling on March 15, 2013 at Lion Fight 9 in Las Vegas with the inaugural Lion Fight Light Heavyweight Championship will be on the line. Although a closely contested bout, it was Marcus' clinching skills that made the difference as he took the unanimous decision win.
Moving up to 85 kg/187 lb, Levin defeated Sahak Parparyan via an extension round decision at Glory 7: Milan in Milan, Italy on April 20, 2013.
He competed in the four man 85 kg/187 lb tournament at Glory 10: Los Angeles - Middleweight World Championship Tournament in Ontario, California, United States on September 28, 2013. After cruising to a unanimous decision over Jason Wilnis in the semi-finals, he lost out to Joe Schilling in the final. He took round one but was knocked down in two when Schilling connected with a right overhand followed by a knee. The bout was ruled a draw after three rounds and went to an extension round in which Schilling scored a controversial knockdown and took the unanimous decision and the belt.
