Fight Night Recap: Good Vibes Gym Boxing Show

Fight Night Recap: Good Vibes Gym Boxing Show The local boxing scene came alive at the Good Vibes Gym boxing show, featuring thrilling matchups between local fighters and international talent from Portugal. Sliema Fight Co. had three warriors step into the ring, delivering spirited performances and showcasing the grit, determination, and heart we value so deeply. Here’s a recap of the action:   luigi ventura: explosive debut​ Kicking off the night, Luigi Ventura made a memorable debut against a taller, more experienced opponent. Despite taking some heavy shots, Luigi demonstrated incredible tenacity and relentless pressure throughout the bout. His warrior spirit was evident as he pushed his opponent to the limit. While he ultimately lost on points, this was an invaluable experience. With his first fight under his belt, we’re confident Luigi will return stronger, sharper, and even more refined.   Jean micallef: one to watch​ Jean stepped into the ring for an exhibition bout that left the crowd buzzing. The evenly matched contest was a showcase of his impressive skills—excellent head movement, rapid hand speed, and unyielding grit under pressure. One of your youngest on our senior team, but Jean made it clear that he’s one to watch, and we’re excited to see his continued development in the ring.   marik wittke: promising exhibition​  Marik also participated in an exhibition bout, showing great promise against another evenly matched opponent. Trained and supported by his Heavyweight Titleholder brother Drago Wittke, Marik displayed remarkable composure and a well-calculated approach. His well-timed combinations and calm demeanor throughout the fight reflected the hard work put in during camp. The Wittke brothers proved to be a dynamic duo, and we’re eager to see Marik’s continued progression.   acknowledgements A massive thank you to Coach Alex Denisov, whose tireless efforts ensured the fighters were in peak condition, both physically and mentally.

Sliema Fight Co. teases rebrand to “Malta Fight Co. powered by BGM”

Sliema Fight Co. teases rebrand to “Malta Fight Co. powered by BGM” Malta, 31st March 2025 – Big changes are happening. Sliema Fight Co. is rebranding to Malta Fight Co. powered by Best Gyms Malta (BGM). We started in Sliema, but we’ve outgrown that name. This isn’t just about one gym anymore—it’s about bringing combat sports to fighters all over Malta. Why the Change? When we launched in 2021, Sliema Fight Co. was just a small group of people who loved to train hard and fight harder. Fast forward to now, and we’ve built something bigger—national champions, packed-out classes, a fight night scene that’s picking up steam. But the truth is, we’re no longer going to be just a Sliema gym. By teaming up with Best Gyms Malta, we’re stepping up in a big way. This partnership means we can operate out of their gym network, giving our fighters access to better facilities, more locations, and a stronger fight community freeing up our team to focus on what matters: building fighters, not overheads. What This Means for You Same coaching, bigger reach – You’ll get the same quality fight training, but now in multiple locations. Better facilities – Recovery areas, strength & conditioning zones, and high-end training spaces. The fight scene is growing – We’re setting up something that will bring serious competition and energy to fight sports in Malta. The Bigger Picture This is about more than just a name change. Malta Fight Co. is here to push combat sports forward—whether you’re stepping into a ring for the first time or defending a title. The partnership with BGM means we can scale up, train harder, and give fighters at all levels the platform they deserve. We’re just getting started.
