NEW YORK - Michael Lohan is going to have to be patient if he’s still looking for a fight.
The father of Lindsay Lohan took bids last month for the chance to box against him Monday on Long Island, all to raise money for charity. The president of a business computing firm put in a winning bid of $30,000 — until parole officials stepped in.
Spokeswoman Heather Groll says the board frowns on Lohan’s participation in a boxing match because he spent 20 months in prison for attempted assault.
Lohan tells the Daily News he is “very disappointed” but understands the decision.
The parole board says Lohan is free to engage in whatever charity events he wants after his parole ends in February.
