Arkadiy achieved his first major success outside of Ukraine in 2015 when he won the European Junior Championships. In 2023, he became the country's strongest boxer in his weight category among adults and won the right to represent Ukraine at the 2023 European Games in the 92 kg category.

In the competition in Krakow, Kartsan reached the 1/8 finals, although many complained that the judges at that tournament held back Ukrainians.

In early January 2024, the fighter from Khmelnytskyi was supposed to box at a tournament in Debrecen, but he did not enter the ring. The head coach of the Ukrainian national team, Dmytro Sosnovsky, explained that Arkady had a psychological breakdown, which prevented him from competing.

Despite the fact that Kartsan failed to qualify for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, it seemed that he would still have a chance to fight for the gold medal. But on September 17, the champion's heart stopped forever...

"It is hard to find such a thirst for victory as this guy had, he dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion and worked hard for it. Rest in peace, champion! We will always remember you," the FBU expressed its condolences.
