"You can discern a true champion by their behavior outside the spotlight"
WHEN BOXING BECOMES ART...
Vasyl Lomachenko is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and technically skilled boxers in the history of amateur boxing. Holding a record of 396 victories out of 397 fights, he avenged his only defeat by defeating the same opponent twice. Transitioning to the professional ranks, Loma had a clear goal in mind—to break records and establish himself as one of the greatest boxers of all time. As a multiple weight class champion, he replicated a record set 39 years prior, becoming the second boxer to capture a world title in his third professional fight in 2014. He further cemented his legacy by achieving the fastest world title wins in the second weight class (7th fight) and the third weight class (12th fight).
In 2019, the loss of his titles led Lomachenko on a path of rediscovery. Despite his incredible boxing skills, the champion sensed something was missing—a quest for inner peace that had long eluded him. It was then that he turned to his Orthodox faith, which he had kept hidden for too long.
He made a triumphant return, defeating Masayoshi Nakatani by referee's stoppage in the 9th round, and six months later, Lomachenko affirmed his resurgence with a masterful victory by unanimous decision against former world champion Richard Commey.
On May 20, 2023, he faced one of the greatest challenges of his career: Devin Haney. Humility, patience and compassion - three virtues that taught Lomachenko to shed his ego and focus on inner peace. Despite unprecedented technical prowess, unparalleled elegance and uncommon hustle, Lomachenko bowed out. The decision was taken by the judges following a very balanced bout. This defeat is not really a defeat, but rather a reminder of the cruelty of this magnificent sport, which is played out in detail and on the perception of each individual. Both fighters are victorious, but only one keeps the belts. Lomachenko comes out of this fight with his head held high.
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
The meeting between Venum and Loma is the result of a universal law: A shared ambition, a thirst for perfection and a similar vision of boxing and fighting made the exchange possible. An obviousness. The alchemy was then gradually created between two actors full of character and experience. The expertise of an outstanding champion coupled with the know-how of the brand has resulted in a unique and prolific relationship aimed at benefiting all combat sports practitioners, from the youngest to the most experienced.
Vasyl Lomachenko is already an outstanding champion and recently a new vision and a total questioning of the values he wishes to divulge have brought him to a level never reached before. It was when he decided to leave his ego behind and focus on the essential that his true greatness became apparent.
It is this change that inspired us to create this new collection.
A strong color and a clean style.
With a multitude of products adapted to the practice of sports and quest for performance, this collection is to be worn in the gym and outside. For your training, your jogging, your exchanges with the punching bag or simply in your daily life.

"NOW I START TO LIVE A SECOND LIFE"
The "Papachenko" method
The plan of Anatoliy, a fine psychologist, he puts on the first gloves of the Ukrainian artist at a very young age, in the cradle. After that, he dissuades his son from boxing by enrolling him in several disciplines, dance, gymnastics, soccer, field hockey. While knowing that he would like to return to boxing, the prohibitions are always so attractive.
In his corner, he observes, notes, corrects. He analyzes the smallest details, the smallest movements of his son. If Lomachenko revealed himself thanks to his talent, he was shaped by his father from a very young age. "Papachenko did not make his son a simple boxer, but an athlete and a man who sees further than others, better than others. The son does not go without the father.
Beyond this training, Lomachenko is newly armed thanks to the discovery of a new strength. This is how Vasyl Lomachenko goes down in history, not only as one of the greatest boxers of all time, but also as an exceptional human being who found inner peace and spiritual strength through his faith. The true champion is the one who fully embodies humanity.
But behind the warrior, there is the man. The man who has understood that true victory is not only to defeat his opponents, but to defeat himself.
Outside the ring, wisdom and kindness are his watchwords. His name will remain forever engraved in the history of this sport, as the one who knew how to show the world that boxing could be more than just a sport, but a true path to peace and brotherhood.
