Deniz began training in boxing when he was 10 years old before switching to Muay Thai. Deniz has been to Thailand several times with the Turkish national team for season camps.

Deniz first came to prominence when he won the Pro Tournament Ring Masters, a four-man tournament held at the Haldun Alagas Sport Hall in Umraniye, Istanbul on May 25, 2007. Deniz defeated Hasan Gul in the semi-final round and Eyup Kuscu in the final round becoming the Heavyweight Champion of Turkey.

Deniz made his debut with the K-1 promotion in August 2007 at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2007 in Hong Kong, where he defeated South Korean ssireum fighter Kim Dong-Wook in a reserve match for the 8-man Grand Prix taking part on that night. On November 2, 2007, Deniz took part in the Grand Prix at K-1 Fighting Network Turkey 2007 but was defeated by Brazil's Vitor Miranda at the quarter-final stage.

On June 11, 2011, Deniz made his It's Showtime debut against the Romanian Daniel Ghiță in the main event at BFN Group presents: It's Showtime Warsaw and lost via knockout in the second round due to a body shot.
