Shane Swartz (born December 27, 1975, in Fort Collins, Colorado) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1996 to 2007.
Swartz began boxing under the guidance of his father Roger at the age of four.[1] He was an outstanding amateur, having won back-to-back gold medals at the 1993 and 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival.[2] He was upset by Dana Rucker in the semifinals of the 1995 edition.[3] Swartz was also the U.S. National Amateur Champion at 165 pounds in 1994 and 1995.
