Professional career

His 16–0 undefeated streak earned Massey the chance to fight Richard Riakporhe for the vacant British cruiserweight title on 19 December 2021, at the York Hall in London, England. He lost the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 115–113, 115–113 and 117–111.

After successfully bouncing back from his first professional loss, with a points win over Mohammad Farid, Massey faced Engin Karakaplan for the vacant IBF European cruiserweight title on 2 July 2021, at the Sheffield Arena Carpark in Sheffield, England. He captured the IBF regional silverware with a fourth-round knockout, flooring Karakaplan with a right-left combination.

Massey was booked to face Bilal Laggoune for the vacant IBO cruiserweight title on 26 November 2021, at the Whites Hotel in Bolton, England, in the main event of a Fightzone broadcast card. Massey made quick work of his opponent, as he won the fight by a third-round technical knockout. He first knocked Laggoune down with a left hook early in the third round, before forcing the referee to wave the bout off with a flurry of punches as soon as the fight resumed.

Massey defeated the Commonwealth cruiserweight champion Isaac Chamberlain via unanimous decision at Selhurst Park in London on 15 June 2024 in a fight that was also for the vacant European belt.

He challenged IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 12 October 2024, but lost the fight by stoppage in round six.

After more than a year away from the competitive boxing ring, Massey is scheduled to face Ivan Gabriel Garcia in an eight-round contest at the Vaillant Arena in Derby on 29 November 2025.
