Floyd Mayweather Jr., legendary American boxer, 47 years old, faced a tense situation in central London last Tuesday, while shopping in a jewelry store in the Hatten Garden block. The episode occurred one day after the launch of an initiative to support Israel, in which Mayweather promised to offer gifts to orphaned minors in that country.
According to reports, a crowd of around eight to ten people chased and insulted the former boxer, while another 20 to 25 watched the incident. Witnesses report that Mayweather was the target of racist insults and even physical attacks. His security team, outnumbered, had difficulty protecting him and was forced to quickly escort him out of the premises.
A witness told The Sun: “He was asked why he supported Israel, and he replied that he was proud to support the Jews. After that, someone hit him. His team was trying to create distance, but there were several people trying to hit him. Floyd received some blows, but did not react.”
