He was given his personalised trophy last night at the SMAs live event held at The Chophouse, Sliema.

After receiving the award from host Raphael Pace, Bertu spoke to the crowd with humility before partying the night away with the rest of the winners and nominees.

Always working in the shadows, Bertu was more than just a boxing legend in Malta – he was a mentor with a no frills attitude and an undying determination to achieve.

Born in 1953 and already boxing by the late 60s, he quickly rose through the ranks, winning numerous accolades and titles along the way, including the Malta National Championship.

After retiring, he opened his own gym in Għarghur, now a staple destination for anyone in the know.

Old-school, hardcore and disciplined – Bertu wouldn’t have it any other way.

Bertu’s iconic status has transcended time and has continued to have an impact across media platforms – with features punching their way into socials feeds to this day.

As a result, he has inspired a whole new generation of boxing enthusiasts and fitness fanatics, and today, we recognise his incredible impact on the Maltese islands.

Relive Bertu’s story in Lovin Malta’s award-winning documentary below.
