Previously, Bassett lost the trials held for the U20 World Championships. However, the teenage wrestler is far from disappointed. In a long, heartfelt Instagram post, Bassett wrote,

"U20 WTT- Blessed for my Six Battles. After scrapping in the Challenge bracket, I lost 2 matches to 1, in the finals. Much respect to Luke Stanich, Lehigh and their coaches. Best of luck at Worlds, go bring it home 🇺🇸 I love this sport. I love the battles. I love the wins and the losses. Grateful for every opportunity to compete, learn, and grow."

Bo Bassett had won the gold medal at the U17 World Championships in 2021. He also won a bronze medal for the USA at the U20 World Championships held last year.

Bo Bassett once talked about his decision to commit to the wrestling team of the Iowa University, i.e. the Iowa Hawkeyes. In his interview with FloWrestling, the 18-year-old former junior world champion mentioned,

“I’ve always wanted to be an Iowa Hawkeye. That is something I didn’t forget since I was six years old when I started wrestling. Iowa was always my favorite team, and I don’t know why. I just love the way they wrestle. They are very similar to the McCort room.”

In another interview for the UFC website in 2023, Bassett had expressed his desire to play for the USA at the Olympics at least once. In his words,

"My goal is to obviously go to college and get my degree. I also have the goal to win four NCAA titles. I think 2028 would be my best year, maybe 2032 Olympic cycle and transition into fighting."

Bo Bassett will be joining the Iowa Hawkeyes next year, i.e. in the 2026 season. Michael Mocco, i.e. the son of former national champion Steve Mocco, will be joining alongside him.
