📖 Our story

• 3x Champion Gironde & Aquitaine BEA (2015, 2016, 2017)
• BEA Inter-Regional Champion (2017)
• New Aquitaine amateur champion (2021, 2022)
• Winner of the international tournament " Les Ceintures" (2023)

He discovered boxing gyms at the age of 8, thanks to his father Alain, a coach in a boxing gym in the Bordeaux region. Since that day, he has not left the ring and will have his first fight at the age of 11. After around thirty fights in Educational Boxing, he moved to the Amateur ranks where he will notably win his first Nouvelle-Aquitaine championship in the Seniors, the day after his 18th birthday, as well as the prestigious Montana Belt at 19.

He is the creator and founder of SIMSPORT™.

• Member of the French military team of the Joinville Battalion (1981, 1982)
• 2x Professional French Champion (1986 & 1989)
• 3x European Professional Vice-Champion (1987 & 1989)

Born in Talence, near Bordeaux, he started boxing at 17, after accompanying his brother Joseph to the gym during his childhood. Passionate about karate and close to obtaining his black belt, he was far from imagining that he would accumulate titles among professionals a few years later. He made a meteoric rise from 1983 to 1987 with a record of 25W (including 9KO) for 1D, before his first European Championship. This also allowed him to box at the same events as world boxing stars such as Julio Cesar Chavez at the Stade Louis II in Monaco in 1986.

During his 3 European Championships, he will face Gert Bo Jacobsen (43W - 5D) and Poli Diaz (44W - 3D) , two great champions of this era and idols of their country.

• 3x French amateur champion (between 1976 and 1980)
• Member of the French amateur team (80s)

Joseph was born in Casablanca (Morocco), but began boxing in France, encouraged by his father. He had a great amateur career and played several times at INSEP for international tournaments under the colours of the French team. He decided not to go professional and devoted himself to organising major galas in the South West, particularly to help his rising brother Alain box.

• Moroccan amateur champion (1947)
• Participation in the North African Championships

Joseph Simoes Sr. spent half his life in Morocco, in Casablanca, his birthplace. As a child, he met Marcel Cerdan (then older than him and living in the same neighborhood) and his passion for boxing never left him. He pursued his amateur career in Morocco and won national titles, then passed on his passion to his two sons: Joseph and Alain.

• European amateur champion (Milan 1951)
• Bronze medalist at the Helsinki Olympics (1952)
  Also born in Casablanca (Morocco) to a Spanish mother and a French father of Spanish origin, "Jojo" Ventaja would have a fantastic amateur career with two major world titles, before turning professional and recording 14 victories (including 10 KOs) for 5 defeats.

He even faced as an amateur the man who would become his brother-in-law: Joseph SIMOES Sr.

The two men will separate in a draw!
