Boxing club boss: My beloved gym was minutes from going up in flames

A BOXING club boss says his beloved gym was minutes from going up in flames after water from the leaking roof flooded into the electrics.
Kenny Crighton, who has been running Port Glasgow Victoria Boxing Club for 25 years, said the whole building could have been engulfed as sparks flew from the sodden electrical box.
The boxing coach and his colleagues have been calling in every day during lockdown to carry out building checks and empty buckets due to the state of the roof.
Member Nicky Anderson had popped into the hall with her son when she discovered a major flood and raised the alarm.
