In a shocking incident, boxing icon Floyd Mayweather found himself at the receiving end of a hostile crowd in London due to his vocal support for Israel and the Jewish community.
Mayweather, 47, was shopping in the upscale Hatton Garden district when he was accosted by the aggressive group, as seen in videos circulating on social media platforms.
According to The New York Post, the crowd, seemingly incensed by Mayweather's stance, hurled racial slurs at the boxing champion, who was accompanied by his security team. One individual even attempted to physically assault Mayweather, as reported by The Sun. A bystander recounted the incident, stating that the confrontation was sparked when Mayweather expressed his pride in supporting the Jewish community. "Someone said that Mayweather had been shopping when he was asked why he supported Israel," the witness shared. "He doubled down and said he was proud to support the Jews," they added, noting that the attack appeared to be a premeditated act.
Despite the tumultuous situation, Mayweather remained unscathed, a source close to the boxer confirmed to The Sun. The boxing legend took to Instagram to address the incident, assuring his followers that he was not physically harmed. "What you're seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control," Mayweather stated. He was in the UK for a brief 48-hour visit, primarily for shopping purposes. "I'm perfectly fine, and there's nothing more to it," he concluded. This incident underscores the importance of respecting individual freedom and the right to express personal beliefs, values that are central to conservative ideology.
