Like father, like son.

Again.

Wyatt Wolfe, 12, son of Butler Cubs boxing trainer and Worthington resident Bill Wolfe, will compete in his second amateur bout during the Cubs' annual boxing show Saturday night in the Cubs Hall.

There may be as many as five Butler Cubs boxers on the 10-bout card.

Billy Wolfe, Wyatt's older brother, has more than 60 amateur fights in his career and is looking to turn professional.

“I've been around boxing my whole life,” Wyatt said. “But for years, I was told I'd never be medically cleared to compete.”

Wyatt grew up with cataracts in his eyes and has undergone 10 eye surgeries, the last one in 2019.

In January of 2020, he was medically cleared to box. He won his first bout by unanimous decision April 24 in Monroeville.

“Sometimes I feel like I'm half blind, but my eyes are getting better,” Wyatt said. “My sight doesn't affect me in the ring.”

His father described Wyatt as having “incredible ring savvy for someone his age.

“He doesn't have to fight any differently in the ring. He knows how to protect himself. For every disadvantage, find another advantage,” Wolfe added.

Wyatt has competed in youth wrestling over the years “and they never changed any rules for him. He did fine,” Wolfe said.

Saturday's show will be Wyatt's first bout in Butler.

“I'm pretty confident,” he said. “A lot of my family and friends are gonna be there. That will help.”

Christian Boehler, 16, of Cabot, Trent Valent, 19, of Butler, Nick Geyer, 22, of Gibsonia, and Slippery Rock University graduate Alioune Diasse of Philadelphia are other Cubs boxers looking to be on the card.

Geyer is 1-1, Diasse 0-1. Boehler and Valent will be making their amateur debuts.

Geyer was a wrestler at Pine-Richland who went on to Clarion University. His grandfather, Ron Geyer, was a Cubs boxer. His great-grandfather died from injuries he sustained while fighting a fire in the building decades ago.

Charley Cravotta, a great-uncle, was a nine-time boxing champion who qualified for the Olympics.

“My dream has been to be a professional fighter,” Geyer said. “Maybe this will be the start of that. I'll take things as they come and see what happens.”

Boehler has been training in the Cubs boxing program for a year.

“I've been sparring since I've been here,” Boehler said. “I know it's not the same thing as stepping in the ring for an actual fight.

“I'm excited about this opportunity. I'm never going to know what I've got until I go in there and do it.”

Diasse, 20, just graduated from SRU with a degree in communications. He started coming to the Cubs Hall to train in November.

His reason for getting into boxing is “a personal story I really can't talk about,” he said.

Diasse lost a close decision in his amateur debut a month ago.

“I learned from that. The guy I fought was more experienced,” he said. “I'm confident I'll do better.”

The Cubs boxing program could not host a show last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show serves as the organization's annual fundraiser.

Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door. Bouts begin at 7:30 p.m.
