Since turning pro in 2008, Quinlan had a lay off for nearly 2 years before returning in early 2010, then had a fight a year later, early 2011. Then he had another 2 years off.

Quinlan vs. Geale

On 14 October 2016 Quinlan travelled to fight Daniel Geale on his home soil of Tasmania and he had his biggest win to date, with a victory over former IBF & WBA Middleweight Champion with a sensational 2nd round knockout.

Quinlan vs. Eubank Jr.

On 4 February 2017 Renold Quinlan was stopped in the 10th round by Chris Eubank Jr via TKO, losing his IBO super middleweight title in the process.

Quinlan vs. Damien Hooper

On 7 April 2018 Quinlan stepped up to light heavyweight division for the bout with long time rival Damien Hooper for the WBO International light heavyweight title. Hooper was ranked #9 by the WBO at light heavyweight.[3] Quinlan and Hooper are considered two of the most talented boxers in Australia. In a very entertaining and fast-paced brawl Hooper was controlling early rounds but the balance of the fight changed early in the fifth round with Quinlan dropping Hooper twice in the 5th round and Hooper eventually won the bout in the 9th round by TKO.[4]

Quinlan vs. Buatsi

In his next fight, Quinlan fought undefeated prospect Joshua Buatsi. Buatsi was ranked #9 by the WBA at light heavyweight. Buatsi won the fight convincingly with a first round TKO.[5]
