Floyd Mayweather faces anti-Israel protesters in London
TMZSports.com
Floyd Mayweather‘s visit to London was derailed this week by an angry mob of anti-Israel protesters … when the large group confronted the boxing legend outside a jewelry store.
TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the scene… which shows TBE and his Money Team being bombarded by a crowd in Hatton Garden.
A rep for Mayweather tells us the confrontation was sparked by his support of Israel… which has been documented by his many charitable efforts for the Israeli military and those affected by the October 7 Hamas attacks.
We’re told the group emanated hatred during the altercation… and even used the N-word toward Mayweather.
There were reports that Mayweather was hit with a punch during the incident… but his rep adamantly denies he was hit.
We’re told the protesters tried to intimidate Mayweather and his crew… but their efforts were unsuccessful.
Ultimately, as the video shows, Mayweather and his security were able to leave the scene before more chaos ensued.
Mayweather has been one of the staunchest supporters of the Israeli cause… even packing his private jet with supplies and flying it to Tel Aviv earlier this year.
There have been reports of a rise in anti-Semitism in the area… with the BBC report that almost 2,000 anti-Jewish hate incidents occurred in Britain in the first six months of 2024, more than half of which occurred in the London region.
Needless to say, a few people rushing him outside of a jewelry story won’t sway his support.
