Local Artist Releases Song Inspired by Father’s Boxing Legacy
Nov 23 2024 Share

Local hip-hop artist and breakdancer, @itsliston, has released a powerful new track, “IDOLU,” inspired by his father’s boxing career and its lasting impact on the community. The song pays tribute to Vincent Bongailas, a respected boxer with an 18-year career, whose legacy deeply influenced Kurt Muscat, also known as Kartieri. Muscat, who idolised Bongailas, established the Kartieri Boxing Club (KBC) in Żabbar, a gym offering free lessons to children and parents, particularly those with special needs.

The track features lyrics by Liston in collaboration with jillyanne.barbara, a musical composition by @siconix_studios, and guitar instrumentals from Liston’s father. The accompanying music video, produced by RAW Media Malta, showcases the inspiring journey of Vince’s legacy and Muscat’s dedication to helping others.

Through KBC, Muscat continues his mentor’s mission, teaching the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and physical activity. The initiative provides a positive space for individuals to develop both mentally and physically. The project highlights the impact of community-driven efforts and serves as a reminder of the significant difference local heroes like Muscat and Bongailas make.

Conor McGregor Found Liable for 2018 Sexual Assault in Civil Lawsuit

Conor McGregor Found Liable for 2018 Sexual Assault in Civil Lawsuit
Nov 23 2024 Share

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has been found liable for a 2018 sexual assault in a civil lawsuit filed by Nikita Hand. A jury at Dublin’s High Court ordered McGregor to pay €248,000 in damages after determining he sexually assaulted Hand in December 2018.

Hand alleged that McGregor and another man, James Lawrence, had non-consensual sex with her while intoxicated. The jury concluded McGregor was liable but cleared Lawrence of any wrongdoing. McGregor admitted in court to having sex with Hand but maintained it was consensual. Criminal charges were not pursued in the case.

Hand, citing mental health struggles and inability to work, initially sought damages of up to $2.13 million. During the trial, her lawyer accused McGregor of attempting to shift blame onto Lawrence.

McGregor expressed disappointment with the verdict and confirmed plans to appeal. Following the judgment, he issued a statement focusing on his family and future.

The verdict could impact McGregor’s political aspirations, including his potential 2025 Irish presidential run. In September, McGregor outlined his vision for Ireland, pledging reforms to address corruption and support working families.

McGregor, whose last UFC fight was in 2021, has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years.
