Floyd Mayweather calls out Jake Paul after scuffle during press conference

Floyd Mayweather calls out Jake Paul after scuffle during press conference
May 8 2021 Share

Superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather broke his silence after his impromptu brawl with YouTuber Jake Paul after he allegedly ‘disrespected him’ during a recent press conference with brother Logan Paul.

The scuffle took place after the conference when Jake Paul came face to face with Mayweather, grabbed his hat and ran off with it, where Paul came out of the scrap with a black eye and busted tooth.

Mayweather eventually stated that while it may be one thing to sell a fight and fighters can say what they want in that instance but one thing that no one is going to do is disrespect him.

24-year-old Paul ended up tattooing ‘gotcha hat’ on his leg to allude to the incident and further disrespect the 44-year-old sports icon.

Malta does not make UK’s green list for travel without quarantine

May 8 2021 Share

Despite being expected to be on England’s list of countries allowing travel without requiring quarantine on return, Malta has failed to make the list of 12 destinations.

UK transport Secretary Grant Shapps revealed the ‘green list’ on Friday evening, in which list one would find Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Falkland Islands and Israel.

Malta has been rated as ‘amber’ in the UK’s COVID-risk factor according to British media outlets, which means that arrivals must self-isolate for 10 days or less if they test negative for COVID-19 after five days.

Malta currently has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, with other countries like Germany declaring the island as a no-risk area for the COVID-19 virus.

Minister Byron Camilleri welcomes new fleet of vehicles for Malta’s Civil Protection

May 8 2021 Share

During a recent new conference, Minister for Home Affairs Byron Camilleri announced a new fleet of vehicles for Malta’s Civil Portection service through an investment of over €1.5 million.

The investment in these vehicles is to better prepare those working in Civil Protection for issues which arise everyday such as the challenge of navigating through the small spaces and narrow roads which characterise many cities and villages throughout Malta.

Minister Camilleri explained that the Civil Protection service is an essential part of national security and it is only rational to present them with the best tools. He went on to reveal that every station will be equipped as necessary and is a result of the government’s plan to prepare such services for any and all issues that may occur.
