As for melee - around 45 UA should be enough if you gather IPs with call thunder first (from a boat or palisade) to be able to increase advantage fast. If you don't / can't gather IPs beforehand then you should get at least 60-65 UA. Otherwise boar will get enough (3) advantage before you can build enough IP and simply ravage you with its special moves.
I assume you have all basic maneuvers as well as invocation of skuld and flex.

Strength does not determine your chances in combat with animal, since it doesn't affect defense / attack bars. At most it may speed up the combat.
Constitution also does not determine the chances. At most it may give extra hp which will let you survive and run away. If you take damage then you already lost.

Enough MM to make him run, 10 and a q10 sling can do it. Some animals will run if they can't path to you after taking a decent bit of damage. This is not the same as the running they do when they get low health- if you break combat in the first case and then re-aggro, they'll attack again. In the second, they'll keep running because they're still below the health that triggers running.

So- boat, 10mm Q10 sling at least, bucket of water and skin, enough skills trained to punch and shoot.

Shoot the boar until he runs, jump out of boat and chase him at Movespeed 3. Doesn't matter what your UA skill is, a punch will break his defense and do full damage from behind. If your strength is low it will take a few punches before he dies. Make sure you have enough water to keep chasing. DO NOT break combat, you want to keep him running until you've punched him to death- if he re-aggros while above the low-hp limit he will turn around and kill you.

Correction: it will break defense and full damage due to having 0 combat weight because the boar is moving and does not have a combat move queued.

You need between 15 and 600 XXl before you can solo a boar.

Any sling and marksman level can work on a boar if you have patience. You should have atleast the Unarmed Combat skill purchased as well (for the Punch attack).

Easiest way I've found is to sling boars from a boat until they run, then quickly get on land and chase them down, punching them. If you stay near them and don't lose aggro they should remain in flee mode and not fight back (if they did they could turn the tables real fast). There is some risk though and how many punches you need to finish them off might vary. But it's good training for you to be an efficient runner during the chase, and it's tons more fun than waiting in a boat twitch-shooting them.

I was able to do it at 6. But I guess 15 is more "safe."
