On February 1, 2025, Selevko placed seventh overall at 2025 Europeans.[6] “It was a really good experience,” said Selevko. “I feel very happy. I feel really happy that I landed the quad loop. I tried it a couple of times in competition, not so successful. I landed it in nationals, but oh well. Overall, I’m very happy that I managed more or less well with this program.”[6]

Ahead of the 2025 World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, Selevko was ill and experienced pain in his leg that bothered him when walking. He placed nineteenth in the short program after falling on a quadruple toe loop jump.[7] He struggled in the free skate as well, falling again on an attempted quad jump and popping several jumps into doubles and finishing in nineteenth place overall.[8]
