Boulos trained under the Inter Lebanon club and attended College des Freres Maristes Champville.[3][4] Boulos is one of four Lebanese sprinters to have ever run under 10.70 seconds for 100 m.[5][6]

After making his global debut at the 2013 World U18 Championships in Athletics, Boulos qualified in both the 100 m and 200 m at the 2017 World University Games. A controversy emerged surrounding his 100 m heat because he was drawn to compete against Israeli athlete Imri Persiado. The Fédération Libanaise d'Athlétisme was at first unsure if allowing him to compete would violate a Lebanese law against a boycott of Israel, but a decision was ultimately made that they could compete because they were only two of eight runners in the heat.[7]
