The 22-year-old, a hard-hitting super-welterweight signed to Matchroom, locked horns with Gordie Russ II in Arizona back in December.
Each of the judges backed Bostan after the eight-round contest, further boosting his profile and introducing him as a serious talent to an American audience.
However, an incident between the third and fourth rounds proved telling. Bostan had shown vulnerability, taking shots in an emotion-fuelled bout.
His trainer, Grant Smith of Steel City Gym, grabbed hold of Bostan as he slumped in the corner and warned his protege he was going to get knocked out.
Bostan has taken stock having let his green side show and plans to show off an improved version of himself when he faces Jack Martin at Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre tonight .
Speaking to The Yorkshire Post, Bostan said: “I definitely do know I’ve learnt a lot from it. I’ve took the lessons on board and I’ve put them into practice during camp.
