Bøving joined the FC Copenhagen youth academy, Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB), at the age of 10, having previously played for HIK.[2][3] As a youth player, he participated in the first team's winter training camp during the 2019–20 season, featuring in all the friendly matches.[4] He received his first call-up to the senior squad for a Danish Superliga match against Silkeborg on 23 February 2020, but did not make an appearance.[5][6]

Bøving made his official debut on 4 March 2020, in a Danish Cup match against AaB, coming on as a substitute for Michael Santos in the final five minutes.[7] Later that year, on 10 August 2020, he featured in Copenhagen's 1–0 loss to Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.[8]

He made his Superliga debut on 3 February 2021, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute in a win against AaB. After progressing through the club's youth system, Bøving was officially promoted to the first-team squad in the summer of 2021, following a contract extension on 21 May 2021 that tied him to the club until 2025.[9] During his time with Copenhagen, he made 44 competitive appearances, including 12 in European competitions, and scored five goals.[10]

On 30 August 2022, Bøving signed a four-year contract with Austrian Bundesliga club Sturm Graz.[2][11] He made his debut for Die Schwoazn on 3 September, starting in a 0–0 home draw against TSV Hartberg.[12] Bøving made headlines in October 2022 during a UEFA Europa League match against Lazio, scoring both goals in a 2–2 draw.[13]
