A Diamond In The Rough...
Growing up in the Jacob Riis housing projects of New York City's Lower East Side (better known as "Alphabet City"), Benitez experienced firsthand the intense challenges of poverty. Often, these struggles teach many youth to believe in a life of crime and despair, but Roberto learned to believe in himself. Though tested by the temptations of the streets, Roberto never gave in. Roberto has put together a stellar amateur boxing resume, including being a 10 time National Champion, 1999 USOEC Athlete of the Year, Goodwill Games silver medalist, and 4-time Everlast US Champion. He completed his amateur career by being named the first Olympian from NYC since Riddick Bowe.(1988) Roberto matches the skills and ability he brings into the ring outside the ring as well. Wanting to be a positive role model, Roberto takes the time to speak to children about the importance of education and the perils of drug abuse. This young phenom has graced the pages of FHM Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Latina magazine. He has been featured on networks such as HBO, ESPN, Telemundo, Foxsports, and many others.For more infomation on Benitez please visit him at www.Robertobenitezonline.com Notable Boxing Accomplishments: *Undefeated Professional bantamweight boxer (5-0, 3 KOs). *2004 U.S. Olympian. *10-time National Champion. *Two-time National Golden Gloves champion. *Four-time Everlast U.S. Champion ( 5th-ever in History to achieve this title) .
*Goodwill Games - Silver Medalist
