In 2007, Tapia decided to represent Puerto Rico in AIBA competition based on being a full-blood Puerto Rican despite being born in New York, with both of his parents originating from there. Upon moving to the archipelago from New York, Tapia joined Club Diamante and was trained by Ricardo “Ricky” Márquez, who employed his high energy and developed a six-day-per-week regime, including sparring, motivational conferences and running throughout in panoramic locales such as el Morro in Old San Juan. Tapia’s first competition for the Puerto Rico national cadet boxing team was the 2007 AIBA Cadet World Boxing Championships. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Joseph Arguello of the United States by points, 29:11. In the semifinals, Tapia advanced over Adulallev Rashad (30:9) of Azerbaijan. In the finals, he faced Smolin Segey of Ukraine, defeating his with scores of 17:6 to win the gold medal. At his first major senior class tournament shortly after turning 17 years old, the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, he was upset early at heavyweight with 201 lbs heavyweight limit by John M’Bumba of France, who went on to win the bronze medal. On October 8, 2009, Tapia participated in a youth dual against a selection from Canada, defeating Matt Flynn by abandonment in four rounds. On September 18, 2009, Tapia participated in a double-header against talent from the Ironbound Boxing Club based in Newark, New Jersey.

In the finals, Tapia defeated José Santiago by points, leaving him scoreless with scores of 11:0. On May 22, 2010, Tapia entered the first Copa Olímpica Internacional, winning the tournament over José Santiago by points in a rematch at the final. On a single-night Puerto Rico national team meeting, Tapia won his scheduled contest with Michael Narváez by walk over. Tapia was meant to be part of the national team that participated in the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games, but he was cut from it after choosing not to participate in morning running sessions and being absent from training. On July 3, 2011, he defeated Santiago (18:8) in a rubber match during the finals of the Copa Olímpica Internacional. Later that month, Tapia entered the Torneo Internacional José “Cheo” Aponte held in Caguas. In the semifinals, he was paired against Pan American champion Julio Castillo of Ecuador, overwhelming him in the third round and earning a RSC victory. In the finals he faced Santiago in another match, earning a 20:4 decision. Tapia decided to close his amateur career following a resolution where the Amateur Boxing Federation decided not to participate in the 2011 AIBA World Boxing Championships, citing an inexperienced team and conflicting dates with the 2011 Pan American Games, leaving him without a tournament to participate in. His final amateur record was 58 wins and 4 losses.
