Simon Kean (born 11 January 1989) is a Canadian professional boxer. As an amateur he qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics along with countryman Custio Clayton.[1]

Amateur career

Kean was a semi-finalist and third-place finisher in the super-heavyweight division at the 2012 American Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. Three spots were available for qualification at super-heavyweight and Kean qualified over the other semi-finalist since his loss was a knockout 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]
