A Cincinnati boxer met his match when it came to two child support technicians with Hamilton County Job and Family Services.

Set to participate in a 10-bout fight card on Sept. 7 at Cincinnati’s Horseshoe Casino, the boxer ran into two of his toughest adversaries to date: Child Support Enforcement Technicians Sandi Wolf and Debbie German.

Wolf handles the boxer’s child support cases and has suspended his boxing license in the past. When the mother of the boxer’s child called again the Friday before his big fight wondering why he was fighting when he was not current on his support payments, Wolf and German jumped into action.

“Debbie checked and saw that he was fighting right here at the casino on that Saturday,” Wolf said. “I suspended him that day, but I did not mail the paperwork.”

She knew it would never reach the Ohio Athletic Commission in time to stop the bout the next day. So she called and spoke directly with Commission Executive Director Bernie Profato.

“I explained the situation to him and he’s an awesome person,” Wolf said. “I heard him talk to the boxer’s manager and he said, ‘If the payment is not made, I am pulling the fight.’ ’’

Under orders from Profato, the boxer’s trainer quickly called Wolf and wanted to know how to make payment of the nearly $5,000 that was owed.

“He asked if I would take a check and I said no,” she said. “He said it was going to take him time to get the money together. We told him he had two hours. We go home at 4:30.”

Shortly before 4 p.m, he showed up with the money.

“I wish they were all that easy,” German said.

Wolf said working the case on that Friday was like a mini soap opera.

“It was a lot of fun because we were the ones in control,” she said. “We were able to have an immediate impact on the case.”

The boxer clearly met his match that day. And it turned out to be his only fight of the weekend. His challenger in the Saturday bout was disqualified when he did not turn in his blood results on time.
