From a kid learning to box at The Boys Club in downtown NYC, to an Olympic alternate and silver medal winner at The Goodwill Games, Roberto Benitez has come a long way. Benitez is comfortable in the arena, and the corporate world; he earned a business degree at Northern Michigan University while becoming a professional boxer. Today, this talented boxeador gives back to his community, mentoring troubled youth at juvenile detention centers. Roberto volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club of America, because of where he got his start, at The Boys' Club of New York.
Music: Roberto says that music helps set his moods — listening before or after a big fight to relax.
