Kickboxing career

Enfusion

Ozcan won his first major kickboxing title in 2015, with a fifth round knockout victory over Fran Palenzuela, winning the Enfusion 72.5 kg title.[7]

In the following year Tayfun participated in the Enfusion 70 kg MAX Tournament.[8][9] In the semi final bout he fought Madicke Kamara. Kamara retired from the fight at the end of the second round. In the final Özcan fought a rematch with Mohammed Jaraya, winning the fight, and the tournament, through a unanimous decision.[10]

Özcan next participated in the Kunlun Fight World MAX Tournament Final 16 qualification.[11] After beating Davit Kiria in the first round through a decision, Özcan would suffer a second round left hook KO in the following bout, at the hands of Wu Xuesong.[12]

In 2018 Tayfun fought Andy Souwer for the Enfusion 72.5 kg World title. He once again captured the title with a fourth round KO win.[13] He defended his title twice, with a third round TKO victory over Ardalan Sheikholeslam,[14] and a decision victory, over the then 75 kg champion, Endy Semeleer.[15]

He briefly left Enfusion to fight for the Arena Fight 72 kg title against Mohamed Hendouf.[16] Özcan won the fight by a unanimous decision.[17]

During Enfusion 92 Tayfun attempted to become a two weight Enfusion world champion, when he challenged the reigning 70 kg title holder Jonay Risco to a rematch.[18] Özcan won the fight by a unanimous decision.[19]
