In 2010, Hrabovik competed in the men's Greco-Roman 84 kg event at the World Wrestling Championships held in Moscow, Russia where he was eliminated in his first match by Damian Janikowski of Poland.[3]

At the European Wrestling Championships he won two medals: in 2016, he won one of the bronze medals in the men's 98 kg event and in 2017, he won the silver medal in the men's 98 kg event.[4][5]

In March 2021, Hrabovik competed at the European Qualification Tournament in Budapest, Hungary hoping to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[6] He won his first match by walkover as his opponent, Felix Baldauf of Norway, had tested positive for COVID-19.[6][7] He was then eliminated in his second match by Nikoloz Kakhelashvili of Italy.[6] In May 2021, he also failed to qualify for the Olympics at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Sofia, Bulgaria.[8]
