Simon Bakinde is a natural born warrior whose talents and training began at a tender age. Growing up with intense adversity in Cameroon, Africa, he was exposed to much hardship, setting him on a quest for survival and self-preservation. Simon channeled his frustration through meditation, preparation, and came to realize that success is achieved through calm, disciplined, and practiced strategy. By the age of 9, Simon defeated his victimhood. He then set out on a heroic journey towards freedom, the first of countless battles. His own bravery and determination led the path to Paris, France where he decided he would become a professional boxer.
At the age of 11 he arrived in Paris by the side of his mother Maximilienne Bakwo, who was both fearful and encouraging of her sons dream. Simon, the fighter, was forged in those early years, but Simon, “The Boxer”, had to be honed. To achieve his goal and thrive in a highly competitive sport, Simon had to dedicate himself to a strenuous physical and mental regimen. Like Sun Tzu, Simon understood the Art of War and put everything he had into perfecting his talent and becoming a World Champ. By 20, Simon, “The Phoenix,” was undefeated and rose through the ranks during the 1990's. He was a force to be reckoned with, earning titles in the Intercontinental Championship, France International Cup, Grand Prize De Paris, and Paris Championship with a record of 17/6/2. Fighting to subdue his innate quest for revenge, he tore through the competition like a beast ranking #10 in the world in 2000. Simon's quest for domination brought him to New York City in 2001 where he continued fighting professionally.
Upon retiring from professional status, Simon established SBC in 2003, as a way to pass on his knowledge and experience. Simon developed his unique system to train, coach, and manage beginner and professional boxers with a strong focus on philosophical, analytical, and physical preparedness. In 2015, Simon established Four Points Boxing LLC, a professional boxing management company alongside Fernando Phillips. Simon's stable of professional boxers tore through the professional ranks with TKOs and World Champion titles. SBC relocated from NYC to Palm Beach in 2022 with the support, friendship and guidance of Sam Younes, Elazar Grinstein, and Robert Frisbie.
