Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 47, was accosted by a mob on Tuesday for his support for Israel and Jews as he went shopping with his bodyguard in London.
As Breitbart News reported, Mayweather sprung into action shortly after the October 7 terrorist attacks of last year, sending a private jet to Israel loaded with bulletproof vests and other supplies for Israeli soldiers.
He has since traveled to Israel, where he received a hero's welcome. He has also received many awards from Jewish organizations.
On Tuesday, dozens of people allegedly surrounded him, taunted him and even attempted to punch him in London, a city known for its large Muslim population, including anti-Israel and anti-Semitic elements.
uk daily mail reported Mayweather was shopping at a jewelery store in Hatton Garden when he was targeted by around 30 people. One source said he was attacked specifically for his support of Israel and Jews.
The source said Mayweather was out shopping when asked if he supported Israel.
He then said he was “proud to support Jews,” which allegedly provoked someone to attack him.
They went on to say: “So someone hit him, and it seemed very targeted.
