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.

Tony Jeffries won Olympic bronze in boxing, then turned pro and started building an unbeaten record before one hometown fight changed everything.

He opens up about how his promoter talked him into a fight that was supposed to be six rounds, only for him to find out mid-fight, live on national TV, that it was eight.

After that, he received thousands of abusive messages telling him he was shit and that he should die.

He also reflects on being forced into boxing as a kid, punching a bully in the face at 10 after his parents told him to, and the dedication, sacrifice and self-doubt that followed him throughout his career.

Eventually, both hands gave out, his boxing career was over at 27, and the drinking and depression took hold.

But losing boxing became the best thing that ever happened to him, as he channelled that same obsession into becoming the biggest boxing educator in the world, with over 3 million YouTube subscribers.

This episode is about what happens when the one thing you built your life around is taken away, and how you find a way to build something even bigger.

Prince Banjaku was raised on nightclub punch-ons and street scraps before fighting his way to a 19–0 record.

He is now one win away from holding every major kickboxing belt at the same time, something no one has ever done.

Prince opens up about the rage that stopped him smiling until he was 35, why the gym was the only thing keeping him from becoming a junkie or a criminal, and the mindset that made him impossible to beat.

He breaks down the Cyrus Washington fight, where 90 percent of people picked him to lose, and the Chris Bradford knockout where he stopped a man 30 kilos heavier with a punch he does not even remember throwing.

He also breaks down the Tsushi Mori fight, where he broke his fibula in the first round and still found a way to win.

Then came the lockdowns, the SWAT raids, and the path that led to a year in jail, where everything changed.

This episode is about what happens when a man who refuses to lose hits rock bottom and comes back more dangerous than ever.
