Help to name this begonia

Hello,

I have a shrub-like begonia that a friend gave me but we don't know its botanical name. I'd like to know the genus and species of this plant so that I can investigate and find out how to care for it.

Find below a description of the plant and links to pics I have taken of my plant.

Plant features:

- Multiple stems

- Woody stems

Leave shaphe:

- Asymmetrical shape.

- Toothed shape.

- Cup shape.

Leave colour and aspect:

- Medium to dark green on top, and red underneath. (Right now some of the leaves are looking a bit yellowish, but that is not how they normally look).

- Hairy.

- Waxy aspect.

Flowers:

- In clusters

- White and soft pink

- Hairy

- Hang from soft red branches.

Here you can see two pics of my plant:
