Background

She is from York, Pennsylvania.[12] After graduating from Eastern York High School in 2002, she graduated from Millersville University of Pennsylvania where she was a three-sport athlete in basketball, track (heptathlon), and field hockey.[3][2]

Amateur boxing career

Wolf started training boxing in 2008 and took her first amateur fights in 2010.[13] In 2011, she first attended Olympic trials but her weight class was not added to Olympic boxing in 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] She then went on to win US National Boxing Championships in three consecutive years (2013–2015). In 2015, Wolf again attended Olympic trials and as her weight class was not added to 2016 Summer Olympics either, she transitioned to mixed martial arts.[14][2]

As the women's welterweight division was added to 2020 Summer Olympics, Wolf returned to the sport to try out for the Olympics. However, she was eliminated from the Olympic trials and returned to mixed martial arts.[15]

Mixed martial arts career
