EBU title fights

Ceylan vs. Walsh

In October 2016, he won the EBU featherweight title by defeating, the reigning British featherweight champion, Ryan Walsh by split decision.[4] The scorecards read 115-112, 115-112 and 112-117 in favour of Ceylan.[5]

Ceylan vs. Lowe

It was then announced that the first defense of his title would be against Isaac Lowe, the reigning Commonwealth champion.[6] The fight was set for March 2017, but was stopped prematurely, after there was an accidental clash of heads in the fourth round, leaving Ceylan unable to continue. The fight was therefore declared a technical draw, and Ceylan retained his title.[7]

Ceylan vs. Warrington

In his next bout, Ceylan fought Josh Warrington in an IBF featherweight title final eliminator. Ceylan lost via a tenth-round knockout.[8]
