Simon Kean (born January 11, 1989 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec) is a Canadian professional boxer. He has held the IBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title since 2017. In 2012, he qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics along with countryman Custio Clayton.[1]

Amateur career

Simon was a semi-finalist and 3rd-place finisher at super heavyweight at the 2012 American Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. Three spots were available for qualification for super heavyweight and Simon qualified over the other semi-finalist since his loss was a KO by the eventual winner Ítalo Perea.[2] Qualification being dependent on how the opponent performed in later rounds was controversial and will not be used in future Olympics.[3]

At the 2012 Olympics he edged out Tony Yoka but lost to Ivan Dychko.

He participated at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. He lost in the quarter-final against American Cam F. Awesome.[4]

He had an amateur record of 54-15.[5]
