Abused Foster Kid to Bikie Boss. Now Undefeated Boxer | Matt 'The Jedi' Floyd
About this episode
Matt 'The Jedi' Floyd shares his journey from an abused foster child to a bikie gang president and ultimately an undefeated boxer.
Matt "The Jedi" Floyd grew up in and out of foster homes. At 10, he was placed with a family that abused children in their care. By his teens, he was deep in street gangs and violence, before becoming one of the youngest bikie gang presidents in Western Australia at 22. But instead of chasing money or power, he had his crew hunting and kidnapping child predators. Eventually, it caught up with him. Matt spent six years in prison. For most people, that would have been the end. For Matt, it became the start of his fight back. Inside, he taught himself how to box. After getting out at 30, he turned pro. Today, he’s undefeated and fighting on some of the biggest platforms in combat sports. This episode is about abuse, rage, vigilante justice, prison, and what happens when you decide to fight back and become something more than your past. 🥊 Follow Matt: Instagram Facebook TikTok 🥋 Follow Benny: Instagram TikTok Facebook 🎙️ Follow Benny Drohan Podcast: YouTube Spotify Apple Podcasts 👇 Chapters: 00:00 Matt "The Jedi" Floyd 01:24 Growing Up in Foster Care 03:50 The Abuse That Changed Everything 10:00 The Predator Basketball…
