Isley (27) signed with Top Rank in January 2021 and made his promotional debut a month later. Later that year, he competed in the Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Isley won his opening match at the Games before losing a second-round decision to Gleb Bakshi, who went on to claim a bronze medal.
Since turning professional, Isley has compiled a record of 15-0 with five knockouts. His activity has slowed in recent seasons. In 2025, he fought once and scored a decisive victory over Etoundi Michel William in June. That fight took place on an undercard originally scheduled to feature Keyshawn Davis vs. Edwin De Los Santos, a fight that was later canceled after Davis failed to make weight.
Isley is currently ranked number 4 at middleweight by the WBO and number 9 by the WBC. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC
Top Rank has not announced a new broadcast partner since its long-running deal with ESPN closed earlier this year. The company has not commented publicly on Isley’s release.
In a message posted on social media, Isley thanked Top Rank for the opportunity and indicated that he is open to discussions with promoters and managers about future opportunities. No new promotional deal or match has been announced.
Isley did not provide a timeline for his next fight, and his future plans remain unclear.
