Simon Kean (born January 11, 1989) from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec is a Canadian boxer that qualified for the 2012 Olympics along with Custio Clayton.[1]
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 fighter a boxer lost to 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.
