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. [4] Qualification being dependent on how the opponent performed in later rounds was controversial and will not be used in future Olympics. [5] 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. [6] He had an amateur record of 54-15. [7]
