​A former champion of the ring is on a quest to find the next great boxer.

Constantin Bejenaru credits boxing with saving his life.

In his eight-year professional career, the southpaw won the WBC Continental Americas Cruiserweight and Intercontinental Cruiserweight Championships in 2016.

After 30 years in the sport, Bejenaru is giving back by opening his own boxing gym.

“The biggest goal is to improve the community, to make people better, smarter, healthier, stronger," Bejenaru says. "I want this place to be good so people can enjoy it, to be happy, to come here with good energy, work hard, work smart, and to be happy.”

Cus Boxing Gym will hold a grand opening this Saturday in Milford.
