He would go on to win 20 consecutive fights as an amateur kickboxer, with 13 of those victories coming by way of stoppage.[3] Di Bella made his professional kickboxing debut against David Weintraub at Battle of the Millenium 3 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.[4]

Glory Kickboxing

Di Bella made his Glory debut against Will Calhoun at Glory 33: New Jersey on September 9, 2016, in what was his second professional appearance.[4] He won the fight by a first-round technical knockout, due to doctor stoppage.[5]

Di Bella won two more bouts, a unanimous decision over Tommy Espinosa at Glory 48: New York on December 1, 2017 and a first-round knockout of Chris Johnson at Battle of the Millenium 5 on April 13, 2018, before he was given the chance to face Ahmad Ibrahim for the ISKA North American Lightweight title at Glory 55: New York on July 20, 2018. He captured the title by unanimous decision.[8]

Di Bella made his fifth and final promotional appearance with Glory against Mohammed Lemjerdine at Glory 61: New York on November 2, 2018. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[9]

Di Bella would then depart from Glory and face Dejaun Mishael Davis for the ISKA East Coast Featherweight title at Combat at the Garden on April 20, 2019. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[10]
