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.
