Amateur career

Swartz was an outstanding amateur, having won back-to-back gold medals at the 1993 and 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival. He later was the U.S. National Amateur Champion at 165 pounds in 1994 and 1995.

The U.S. Olympic Festival was an amateur multi-sport event held in the United States by the United States Olympic Committee in the years between Olympic Games. Started in 1978 as an American counterpart to the communist Spartakiade – a similar event held on a quadrennial basis by the former Soviet Union and its former satellite in East Germany. As the competitive position of U.S. athletes in the Olympics slipped relative to that of the Soviets and East Germans, it was felt the U.S. needed some kind of multi-sports event to simulate the Olympic experience. It was originally called the National Sports Festival and was the nation's largest amateur sporting event, before ending in 1995.

Professional career

Known as "Hurricane", Swartz began his professional career in 1996 and has had limited success. He moved up to the heavyweight division and has fought several notable foes, such as Calvin Brock and Malik Scott, but has generally come up short in his big fights.

Calvin Vance Brock is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2001 to 2007. In 2006, he won Ring Magazine's Knockout of the Year for his win against Zuri Lawrence and challenged for the IBF and IBO heavyweight titles. Brock was forced to retire after receiving retinal damage in his right eye following his loss to Eddie Chambers.

Dohonna Malik Scott is an American professional boxer, known as "King" or "The Noble Artist". He holds notable wins over former world heavyweight title challengers Alex Leapai and Tony Thompson.
