VENTNOR Amateur Boxing Club has been forced to fold.
The town's old Methodist church, which has housed the club for the last nine years, has been deemed unsafe.
Darren Green, who runs the club, said: “It's very sad but no-one is to blame, it's just one of those things.
“The building is 180 years old, so I've been expected this for a while.”
Some of the members will move to Ryde and Newport boxing clubs.
