You’d be hard-pressed to find a person with a greater passion for boxing anywhere in the world… “My heart is in boxing,” says Jaromír Soukup. “I’ve been sporting my whole life, and I can’t imagine myself without it,” says the former decathlon representative, who must combine his demanding boxing training with his business work. Soukup leads 130 employees in the eleven companies that make up the Médea group. And he’s successful. Just as he is in boxing gloves and between the ropes.

 

Through the eyes of trainer Jurij Krivoručko:

“This is an amazing story. I admire Jaromír Soukup. To have the daring and desire to get into the ring at his age and position, to work on himself, that is just remarkable.”
