An ongoing online spat involving two fitness influencers and one of Malta’s most notable boxing champions has just been escalated one further level… with Steve Martin calling out Scott Schembri and Andriy John, challenging them to a fight on the last of their planned 360 days to turn pro.

Earlier this week, the Bulletproof co-founder and former Love Island Malta contestant both announced they’d be participating in Project 360, which would see them attempt to become professional boxers by the end of 2024. But after their statement triggered an online shitstorm by the local sporting community, the two doubled down, even calling out beloved champion Steve Martin, who was first to advise the pair against their lofty dreams.

Now, resharing the original Lovin Malta post reporting on the whole saga, Martin has replied with what he calls “actually a call out”, and he definitely wasn’t mincing his words.
