Boxing club which provides vital support to youths given notice to close with immediate effect

A boxing club which has become a vital asset for a community has had notice that it will have to close with immediate effect. Kenfig Hill Amateur Boxing Club in Porthcawl has just been given notice to leave their current building.

The club first opened up in 2017, and is based just above the Beachcomber pub on Porthcawl's seafront. But it was only meant to be a temporary solution, as the building is not a suitable home for the club long term, according to the club's coach, Ryan Osgood who is also known as Ozzy.

He has worked there for almost as long as the club has been running, and is getting ready to move out by Monday, March 6. His worry now is that by having to close the club, they will lose an essential part of their day-to-day lives.
