Boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather was attacked in the street as he went shopping in Central London, with fears he was targeted over his support for Israel. A mob of around 8-10 people descended on the undefeated ex-champion and his entourage as he and his security team tried to leave a jewelry store in London’s posh Hatton Garden district.
Mayweather, 47, was seen getting into an altercation as his bodyguards bundled him out of the store and into a waiting black 4×4. A witness described the scene: “It was like a swarm of bees. Someone said he had been shopping when he was asked why he supported Israel. He doubled down and said he was proud to support the Jews. Then someone took a swing at him because of that. It looked very targeted.”
The witness also reported that Mayweather was “bundled out of the shop but by then there were multiple people trying to hit him and pushing his security guards. He was bundled into the car and it sped off. It was over within two minutes.”
The attack is believed to have been carried out by pro-Gaza supporters, who are likely to be opposed to Mayweather’s stance on Israel. Mayweather has been a vocal supporter of Israel and has launched the Mayweather Israel Initiative, which aims to give every orphan in Israel a free birthday present.
In recent years, Mayweather has also visited Israel multiple times, including a trip in October 2022 where he branded it his “home away from home.” He has also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has been involved in several charitable initiatives in the country.
