He is the older brother of Leeds United football player Lewie Coyle. Coyle made his professional debut on 18 September 2009, winning a six-round points decision against Kristian Laight. Coyle suffered his second professional defeat to Derry Mathews on 13 July 2013, in a tenth-round stoppage.
Two of Coyle"s best wins came in 2014, with the first being a last-round stoppage over Daniel Brizuela on 22 February, in what was named both a Fight of the Year and Round of the Year candidate by Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. This was followed up on 25 October with a surprise knockout of battled-hardened slugger Michael Katsidis in two rounds.
These two fights helped set up a showdown with fellow Hull native and 2012 Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell, with their highly anticipated fight eventually taking place on 1 August 2015. Suffering four knockdowns along the way, Coyle was again stopped in the tenth round.
