Tokarev-Swartz in IBF eliminator at cruiserweight

Press Release: On the strength of his upset win over Dale Brown, cruiserweight Shane "Hurricane" Swartz will be traveling to Warsaw, Poland to fight an eliminator for the number one spot in the IBF.  He will take on undefeated Vadim Tokarev in a twelve rounder with Tokarev's regional cruiserweight titles also at stake. Swartz, 18-4 with 12 KOs, made the move from heavyweight down to cruiserweight three fights ago.  He has also added trainer Trevor Wittman to Team Swartz and has won both fights since. Tokarev, 22-0-1 with 15 KOs, will be the favorite. He is coming in on the heels of a four-round destruction of highly regarded Felix Cora Jr. The bout is scheduled for November 25, 2006 at the Torwar Sport Hall in Warsaw.
