While in the Army, David “Strictly Business” Medina earned a boxing berth with the Army’s World Class Athlete Program at Fort Carson, Colorado, where he trained for about six months before winning the Armed Forces Championship in 1999. He went to the Olympics trials in 2000 and then left his job at Fort Riley to pursue his dream – wearing the World Super Welterweight Championship belt for boxing. Medina’s full-time training schedule includes riding his bike 25 to 40 miles every morning, working out at Geary Rehab and Fitness Center in Junction City for a couple of hours in the early afternoon and running short distances every evening. Gym workouts include bag work, jumping rope, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and dead weights, “anything to build up my shoulders. It takes a lot of shoulder and chest strength to go 10 rounds, 30 minutes,” Medina said. With that in mind, he works out with 16-ounce gloves even though he boxes with 10-ounce gloves. He also spars with members of KO Boxing Club in Manhattan every Wednesday evening.
