High school

Bey attended Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois until his junior year.[2] During his high school years in Illinois, he was a USAW Greco-Roman national champion (three-time All-American) and a folkstyle Illinois state champion.[3]

In August 2015, Bey move to Colorado to train at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and to complete his secondary education at Pine Creek High School.[4]

Greco-Roman

Bey was the U.S. Senior Greco-Roman national champion in 2016 and began training at the Olympic Training Center.[5] He went on to represent the United States in 2016, 2017 and 2018 at the Junior World Championships, placing eight, first and fifth respectively.[6]

In 2016, he placed fourth at the Dave Schultz M. International[7] and claimed a Bill Farrell M. International title.[8] In December, he represented USA at the Club World Championships after winning the US Open[9] and helped the team to place eleventh.[10]

In 2017, he won a Dave Schultz M. International title,[11] placed second at the US Open,[12] third at the Zagreb Grand Prix,[13] and twenty first at the U23 World Championships.[14]

In 2018, he claimed championships at the US Open, Cerro Pelado International and Bill Farrell International.[6] He also competed at the Pan American Championships but was forced to pull out of the tournament after he suffered an injury in his first match.[15] He then went on to place seventeenth at the Germany Grand Prix after losing in the first round.[16] In his final competition of the year, Bey competed at the World Championships, where he placed seventh.[17]

In 2019, he claimed his second Dave Schultz M. International championship,[18] his second-straight US Open championship,[19] placed second at the Pan American Championships[20] and made it to Final X, where he fell short.[21] In December, he won the US National Championship and qualified for the Olympic Trials.[22]

On February 9–10, 2019, Bey competed against Rafael Iunusov in the quarterfinals of the Zagreb Grand Prix. While down 2 points to 6, Bey attacked Iunusov with a right hook to the chin at the end of the match, this led to a disqualification loss.[23] He was not suspended and competed days later at the Hungary Grand Prix.[24]

On October 30, 2020, it was announced by the United States Anti-Doping Agency that Bey had accepted a one-year long suspension, after failing to properly inform and maintain his whereabouts information, missing his opportunity to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[27]
