Professional career

Keeler made his professional debut on 3 May 2013, scoring a first-round stoppage victory against Mihaly Voros at the Carlton Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.^[3]

Aftwr his win over Luis Arias, Keeler stated he wanted to fight the best the division had to offer.^[4]

In August 2018, Keeler said he got a phone call from Conor McGregor and said McGregor yelled at him and challenged him to a boxing match. “There was just talk over a phone, a shouting match. Far fetched, I know, but his bout with Mayweather would’ve been further fetched so you never know.”^[5]
