Professional wrestling and pro boxing have a lot in common. They both get support from die-hard fanbases that are likely to argue over athletes more than they would their own family. They’re both combat sports that take a lot of training and dedication to properly master. And they both see their fair share of superstars and big personalities.
It’s in these spaces that Dylan Bostic, a professional wrestler and soon-to-be professional boxer, thrives. In two parallel worlds, he’s discovered the key to success in chaos: moving forward no matter the odds. As he transitions from wrestling to professional boxing, it feels like it’s all in the momentum. The many stages that Dylan has mastered and traveled set him apart, and now he’s set to add one more: professional boxing rings.
Dylan Bostic’s Wrestling Career
Dylan’s first stage, and first love, was wrestling.
The judgment and love of wrestling are where Dylan began his professional journey, and there’s no better way to enter the world of performance. You survive the ring as much as you grow with it. At 15, the young hopeful started training with Dan Garza in Whiteland, Indiana. He trained under legendary trainer Rip Rogers, aka Disco Kid. He gained skills that not only helped him break into wrestling but helped teach him the art and athleticism of combat sports.
Dylan has wrestled for ICW, OVW, and NSPW, traveling over North America and making a name for himself. Trying to break into his dream wrestling career wasn’t always great. On his WWE tryouts, Dylan says, “I’ve had many ups and downs in my career. Getting told “no” by WWE after multiple tryouts that went great, in my opinion, hurts, but I had to keep working.”
If wrestling teaches you anything, it’s to take disappointment on the chin. Dylan Bostic didn’t back down. Through disappointment, through triumph, through it all, Dylan Bostic is a wrestler’s wrestler. Over the years, he’s won several championships throughout the United States and Canada.
As Dylan transitions into boxing, he makes it clear that wrestling was the stage that molded him into what he is. The fans that support him are in for a remarkable transformation.
“Wrestling is in a great position, and so is boxing,” Dylan states. “Both industries have a lot of new viewers, and both are booming. I’m looking to make all of the wrestling fans proud of my pro boxing debut.”
Dylan Bostic’s Boxing Career
Here’s the second stage of Dylan’s life and career: the boxing ring. While Dylan is still wrestling professionally, he’s transitioning into boxing, another combat sport and a natural line of progression from wrestling. As Dylan shifts from wrestling to professional boxing, he has a huge advantage: he understands the stage and fighting, whether it be the audience surrounding it or the opponent inside it. There’s no learning curve to go over.
Training under retired pro boxer Cedric “Ced” Johnson, Dylan is easing into the field. It sees him back in Indiana under the wing of CBA Promotions. Dylan is more than optimistic about his pro boxing career: he’s sure.
What’s Next for Dylan Bostic?
The stage, whether boxing, wrestling, or acting, is up next for Dylan. He filmed his first movie, Pursuit Of Freedom, in 2021. From stage to stage, ring to ring, and act to act, Dylan Bostic has mastered the art of building his career in ways he can be proud of. It’s not just about the profession.
Dylan has a clear view of the future. “In five years, I will be on the top of the wrestling game and boxing!” And who would ever argue with results like his? Dylan Bostic has proven that he knows his way to success.
