Patrick Day

Patrick Day (August 9, 1992 – October 16, 2019) was an American professional boxer. Born to Haitian immigrants in Freeport, New York, Day started boxing in 2006 under the guidance of former firefighter and boxing trainer Joe Higgins. During his career, he won the New York Golden Gloves tournament in 2012 and had an amateur record of 75–5, including two national amateur championships. Day was recognized as the number-one ranked amateur boxer in the United States in the 152-pound division and served as a 2012 United States Olympic team alternate. He earned an associate degree in nutrition from Nassau Community College and a bachelor's degree in health and wellness from Kaplan University. Tragically, Day passed away from brain trauma sustained in a knockout loss against Charles Conwell.
