Press Release
WBA #8 cruiserweight Constantin Bejenaru says he’s ready to go in and do the job he set out to do when he started boxing.
Bejenaru (14-0, 4 KOs) will challenge WBA cruiserweight champion Arsen Goulamirian (25-0, 17 KOs) on December 28 at the Palais Des Sport in Marseille, France.
“I have been working my entire career for this opportunity,” said Bejenaru, “…the chance to win a world title; the chance to show myself on the biggest stage with the highest stakes.”
A tricky southpaw from Ungheni, in the Republic of Moldova and now living in Brooklyn, Bejenaru was a 10-time Romanian champion, a Bronze Medalist at the European Amateur Boxing Championships in 2006, a Finalist in the European Union Championships in both 2006 and 2007, and a Gold Medalist at World Combat Games in 2010.
After turning professional in 2012, Bejenaru went on to score wide decision victories on ShoBox: The New Generation over previously undefeated Alexey Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) and Stivens Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs), as well as a decisive points victory over previous world title challenger Thabiso Mchunu (18-3, 11 KOs).
Bejenaru’s career was stalled for nearly two years by what he called “promotional problems,” but he is now realizing his dream fight in just his second under the Salita promotional banner.
“I love the sport of boxing. I am always working to develop my craft, my skills, my fitness and my mind. It is ultimately the mind that makes a champion. The intelligence and creativity that are necessary to succeed in the ring. The mental discipline that allows a boxer to persevere at the hardest moments."
Goulamirian recently defended his belt for the first time by KO 4 over Australia’s Kane Watts on November 15 in Paris.
“Goulamirian has made a mistake taking this fight against a fighter of Constantin Bejenaru’s caliber so quickly after first defense,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Constantin has incredibly high boxing intelligence and he’s been waiting for this fight his entire life. I look forward to having a new world champion in the Salita Promotions stable.”

Re: Arsen Goulamirian vs. Constantin Bejenaru - December 28, 2019
Arsen Goulamirian stopped Constantin Bejenaru after the end of the ninth round Saturday night at the Palais des Sports in Marseille, France.
With the victory, Goulamirian (26-0, 18 knockouts) successfully defended his WBA world cruiserweight title.
Saturday’s clash came six weeks after Goulamirian dominated Kane Watts of Australia before knocking him out in round four in Paris. The knockout of Bejenaru was also Goulamirian’s sixth consecutive knockout victory and eighth in his last nine bouts.
The southpaw Bejenaru was game from the opening bell, looking to connect with left hooks behind a jab. By the fourth round, Goulamirian’s pedigree and punching power swung momentum in his favor.
Goulamirian, who is of Armenian descent and has become a draw in France, began walking Bejenaru down, connecting with several right hands to the head. Midway through round six, a right hand followed by a combination stunned Bejenaru, forcing the Moldova-born fighter to hold on.
The 32-year-old continued battering Bejenaru until round nine, when a left hook to the head dropped Bejenaru to the canvas. Bejenaru was able to beat the count and fought on until the bell sounded to end the round.
After consulting a ringside physician, referee Oliver Brien stopped the fight prior to the start of round 10, saving Bejenaru from taking more punishment. At the time of the stoppage, Goulamirian was up on all three scorecards, 87-83, 87-83, and 96-94.
Saturday night marked Goulamirian’s second title defense. He is trained by Abel Sanchez in Big Bear Lake, California.
Bejenaru, who now resides in Brooklyn, New York and is promoted by Dmitriy Salita, suffers his first loss as a pro and drops to 14-1, 4 KOs.
