Matt Legg : Gangland Enforcer, Streetfighter & Pro Boxer

Matt Legg was one of the most feared Gangland Enforcers in the country and boxed at the highest level against James Tony and Anthony Joshua whilst undergoing numerous street battles against gangs armed to the teeth. He is also a very intelligent, considerate person who supports numerous good causes, PT trains and is one of the fastest-going content creators on KZbin. This is the Matt Legg story!

Wow! Firstly its an honour to actually have a mini documentary about me. Because i truly believe my life is very tame in comparison to others. Secondly, thank you Ben, for doing this video, and thank you everyone for your positive and kind words in the comments section. I love you all ❤️🥊👊

[@eddiedowd5541]

you've always been a good guy Matt.I bet your arsehole feels like a chimney with all the smoke being blown up it😂😂

[@gary5693]

I forgot to mention a funny story that Matt told me about a conversation he had with AJ when they met at the weight in and for pictures to be taken to promote the fight for sky.....as always Matt was very humble and polite and said that he was honoured and grateful for the opportunity to fight AJ and AJ replied that no it was him (AJ) who was honoured to have the opportunity to finally meet Matt who he had grown up listening to stories from some top respected men who told AJ some of the things that Matt got up to and the scrapes he was involved in and had wanted to meet Matt for a long time and said that it was great to finally meet Matt which shocked Matt because he is so humble and self effacing that he couldn't believe that AJ had that much respect for him and as well as I know Matt that's so typical of him! Always surprised that people respect him so much! I really am truly honoured that I get to call him my very good friend because what you have to remember is that in mk he is very well known and the amount of people who say that they know him so well and are best friends with him it's become a bit of a laugh! One night when we were out he told me that he was very surprised to hear that he has about 10 brothers and even more best friends!! One night when he was working the door he told me that he had a chat with someone who said that he was Matt's best friend and they were like brothers even though Matt had never met him and just like Matt instead of calling him out and embarrassing him in front of his mates Matt just listened to him and shook his hand and said that he was jealous and wished that he could meet him!! I had the privilege of him being at my wedding and I'm so proud that I get to show my wedding pictures to people who always say the same thing "that looks just like Matt legg at your wedding" and I proudly say that it is! I'll finish by saying that I would do anything for this man and I know that he will do anything for me and I feel honoured and proud and lucky to be able to call him my very good friend of 30 years! one word to describe Matt legg..... LEGEND!!!!👌💪💪💪👏👏👏❤️

[@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh]

I have seen it Matt will do anything for is friends what he is doing at the moment for Kevin lane is remarkable, cos u don't get many real friends in life they're like gold dust so I think he would be a great mate.😊

[@chelseakev]

You won't see a bad word on here about Matt.. Very humble and as honest a man that you would ever meet 👍

[@shaunmufc58]

Matt legg is one of the most honest people on KZbin,like Yammy he wears his heart on his sleeve.Never bad mouths anyone.

Matt is 100% a tough man and even more important a man of integrity

[@charleswilson9885]

Matt is such an honest guy, a real warrior, and a gentleman, a very well-respected guy .

[@gary5693]

I am very privileged to be able to call Matt a close friend and I first met him when he was 16 (even though he could have passed for 21 !) He stayed at my house for a while because Interpol were looking for him after his boss was found shot dead in a car.... I was DJ and promoter and Matt used to help me flyer cars in the city centre to boost my business there isn't anything Matt wouldn't do to help a friend.... I used to look on like he was my little brother..... I could write a book on the things Matt got up to and Matt introduced me to a lot of very serious people and some celebrities to which he knows a lot of them.... The Providence I offer for my story is simple..... just ask Matt about who I am and he will confirm our friendship to which I am very proud and honoured to call him my friend......a top man who I would put against anyone and who I would choose to stand by me...... my name is Pope and say hello to him for me

[@enquirer2.0]

Thanks mate brilliant comment and insight respect 🙏

[@gary5693]

@@enquirer2.0 Matt has also dabbled in acting and has made a couple of films and I have suggested to him that he should look at making a film or documentary about the life of one of his heroes Lenny Mcclean... I know that he is gutted that he never got to meet Lenny and if Lenny had died a year later they would have met! Matt is perfect for the part so do me a favour when you next speak to him tell him that he is perfect for the part and to seriously consider the project..... love your channel and have subscribed to it mate 👍 take care

Matt is open and honest about his struggles which is to be applauded. You also mentioned one of my heroes Mr Jim Watt a complete gentleman too.

[@derekstocker6661]

Great video, Matt is a brilliant orator and as you say, has some amazing backdrops to his channel. I feel that Matt brought the fight game and other "hard man" issues to the masses and I am sure so many of us view his channel as not only educational but more than just entertaining as well. Thanks for this, very interesting and also a piece of UK history of the really hard guys.

[@j4nk3n]

Matt is a proper gent, very eloquent and intelligent with his words, we need more of his kind and for the younger generation to take notes!

Well said,just what kids need a gentleman who can do the business but has no need for bravado rather than disrespectful trash talking idiots.

Old school Gentleman! His content is very good

[@chrisalfred5989]

Nice documentary, Matt is such a nice guy. You wont get anyone saying anything bad about him( who truly knows him) because he never threw his weight around or took a liberty with anyone, ( even though he could snap most men like a twig lol ) he was as fair as a man could be..but at the same time hard as nails. Having known Matt for many years, I definitely think he should write a book, it would be a fantastic read and probably a best seller! He has a great KZbin channel which I would definitely recommend to everyone to visit

I really admire Matt for his openness and honesty about his past life. I have followed Matt for a while now and he always comes across as a proper gentleman, but at the same time you wouldn't want to upset him. There are a lot of so-called hard men on this platform, who are always calling each other out, but don't actually meet up to sort it. You never hear any of that shit from Matt and i respect him for that. As hard men go he must be up there with the best of them, past and present!

I reckon a prime Matt Legg give the current AJ a real challenge and possibly even beats him. Aj was a fearless beast when they fought, with a cannon of a right hand. The current AJ, thats tentative, slow, flat footed and seems almost scared to throw his right hand? Thats a different fighter, does that fighter beat a prime Legg?

[@yorkshiretea7620]

The main reason I’d not want to fight Matt is simply because I like the man. Glad he is not involved in that life anymore.
