Di Bella began practicing martial arts at his father's Di Bella Kickboxing gym, where he acquired a Kyokushin karate black belt. He began his young career in the 5 boroughs of New York City. He would go on to win 20 consecutive fights as an amateur kickboxer, with 13 of those victories coming by way of stoppage.[4] Di Bella made his professional kickboxing debut against David Weintraub at Battle of the Millenium 3 in Brooklyn, New York on June 10, 2016. He won the fight by a second-round technical knockout, as he stopped his opponent with low kicks, after he knocked him down twice with left straights.[5]
