“We’re feeling good about this, [I’m] looking forward going to work in partnership with the school,” he said.
“We’ve still got a few hurdles to jump over before we get there, [but] it will be great.
Darbar said there was currently no timescale for how long they could use the school site, but members of the club were really positive about the news.
“They’re looking forward to it, so we just need to arrange the final setup, [work out] when we can start and we can get going.”
While there’s no reopening date for the club, the new agreement has provided Triumph with a base, free of charge, into September.
Darbar thanked Taiwo Owatemi, Labour MP for Coventry North West for her “swift action and determination” to secure the school site.
Owatemi told the Local Democracy Reporting Service she wanted to “bring people together and do the practical work needed to help Triumph Boxing Club find somewhere it could continue operating”.
Woodfield School Principal, Nico de Groot, and Declan Connolly, Sport & Physical Activity Development Manager at Coventry City Council for helping with finding a new site, were also thanked by Darbar.
