He made his K-1 debut on the undercard of K-1 World MAX 2006 Netherlands tournament against Sander Duyvis, winning the fight by unanimous decision.
Douwes made his breakthrough at the K-1 World GP 2008 in Amsterdam when he knocked out James McSweeney in the first round and entered the tournament as the reserve fighter after Freddy Kemayo had to pull out due to an injury. His opponent in the semi-finals was Zabit Samedov. Douwes took the fight to the extra round but lost the evenly fought battle by unanimous decision.
In 2008 he competed for Planet Battle in Macau, China where he was runner up, losing in the final to Thor Hoopman.
A year later he returned to Macau to compete in the Challenger Tournament and won the tournament by defeating three opponents that night.
In 2013 he competed in Enfusion Search for the Superpro.
He returned to winning ways with a KO win over Fikri Ameziane on 25 January 2014 at Enfusion Live 13 – Eindhoven, Netherlands. They pummeled each other at the center of the ring early in the first round. Trading continued in the second when a short right to the jaw of Ameziane made judge to count. Douwes finished the fight in the third round at 2:55 with a right hand that caught Ameziane as he came forward.
He defeated Srdjan Seles via decision at GFC Series 1 in Dubai, UAE on 29 May 2014.
In 2015 after he won the European WFCA title in 2014, he returned to the ring, winning against Tarik Khbabez and Jamal Ben Saddik.
In 2016 he had last minute calls to fight in Glory Kickboxing against Saulo Cavalari and Guto Inocente. Untrained and not prepared, he took the fight like a warrior, but he lost on points.
In 2017 and 2018 he continued to fight.
His next fight was scheduled for 17 February 2019, in a four-man tournament for World Fighting League.
