It is actually not "promise"
Man does not deny his words. Whatever he says, he does that, he doesn´t change his mind, his idea.
I think, it is similar to "man of his word."
Agree.
The important thing here is the use of Erkek olan.
It is like the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling that says if you can do such and such (e.g. keep your head when all around are losing theirs) then you are a man.
The sentence isn´t referring to any man. It is a definition of what a man is.
Literally: The one who is a man is one who doesn´t deny his word.
Free: A real man keeps his word. A man is one who keeps his word.
