Langford clocked a personal best of 1min 45.25secs, as Adam Kszczot of Poland took silver in 1:44.95 and Kenya's Kipyegon Bett bronze in 1:45.21.
The 21-year-old Watford runner was seventh at the bell as Brandon McBride led Nijel Amos at the front of the pack.
Bett surged down the back straight, but was passed by Bosse, who led entering the home straight and dug deep to hold on.
Kszczot could not chase down the Frenchman, while Langford was catching Bett only to run out of track before the finish line.
