RIP Tomasz Kucharzewski
Osu! I was in the midst of creating a profile for this former Sabaki Challege Heavyweight Champ.. it's about a month overdue, but I had discovered over at the Sherdog forums that Tomasz Kucharzewski died at age 39 in his home of Windsor, ON. Now I tried to search the forums to see if someone else had created a thread on this but I did not find any and I'm sorry if this had been posted up already.

Late fighter was "Happy-go-lucky"

He stood 6 feet tall and weighed in at around 230lbs. Born in Poland.

Some career Highlights
-'88, '89, '90 Poland National Kyokushin Champion (IKO)
-'92, '94 Sabaki Challenge HW Champion
-'93 Sabaki Challenge HW Runner-Up (Lost to Patrick Smith)
-'92-'96 International Shido-Kan champion (Chicago, IL)
-'93 Ontario heavy weight amateur boxing champion
-'94 Shido-Kan world champion (Japan)
-'98 2nd place Australian open international Shido-Kan championships

He was 2 - 5 in K-1 Competition. His most notable win being over fellow Karateka Glaube Feitosa by TKO in the 1st round!

If anyone else can add something, it'd be great.

I recognize this face. Sadly he passed away at such an early age and deep condolences to his family and friends.

OSU!

I was fortunate enough to meet Tomasz several times in the early 90's and he was indeed a tough fighter. He will be sadly missed.
