Keeler rarely spoke about his fights while at work, even if occasional cuts acted as unavoidable conversation cues on site. Quietly, he built a respectable professional boxing career, mostly fighting in small hall shows on the outskirts of cities across Ireland and England. He trained before the sun came up and left the building site with a briefcase full of work long after it had gone down. After winning his first seven professional fights, he suffered two defeats to the Welsh boxer Tom Doran that made him reflect on his life.

He was caught between the demands of engineering and his boyhood dream of being a successful boxer. Then you also want to look after your family. I was using my career as an engineer as a bit of a crutch to be honest. Two years ago, Keeler made a decision that changed his life. The company would have made Keeler extremely comfortable; boxing full-time guaranteed him no financial security whatsoever.

He remembers driving to the coastal town of Bray for his first training session as a full-time fighter with his new coach Peter Taylor, father of the world champion and Olympic gold medallist Katie. There could be no excuses anymore. I was finally able to put everything into this sport that I love and honestly, in these two years, it has been another world. The boxing circuit in Dublin is close-knit and Keeler was vaguely acquainted with a young amateur boxer from the neighbouring Crumlin Boxing Club called Conor McGregor while growing up.
