An academy has stepped in to support an amateur boxing club after its owners sold its previous base.
Barton Hill Amateur Boxing Club (ABC)’s home was sold by owners, Wellspring Settlement, in March leaving the club without a permanent base.
City Academy, in Easton, Bristol, has opened up space at their premises for the amateur boxers to use while a future solution is found.
Ben Tucker, principal of City Academy, said: “Barton Hill ABC has been an important part of this community for generations, and we weren’t prepared to see that legacy put at risk.” Wellspring Settlement previously told the BBC the building housing the club was “a financial liability we can no longer afford to maintain”.
