Undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri may be in training camp learning how to beat Fighter of the Decade Congressman Manny Pacquiao, but this weekend it will be his alma mater that takes him to school.
Stony Brook University, where Algieri graduated with Honors, in 2007, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Care Management (Algieri also has a Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York Institute of Technology), will host Chris as the Alumni Fan of the Game at Saturday’s annual Wolfstock Homecoming celebration among 11,000 fans and present to him a proclamation from Suffolk County Supervisor Steven Ballone declaring September 27th “Chris Algieri Day.”
“This is an incredible honor. Stony Brook has played such an important part in my life personally and professionally, “said Algieri . “I am confident my Seawolves can do to William & Mary on Saturday what I did to Ruslan Provodnikov last June — PULL OFF A BIG WIN.”
