Floyd denied he was hit, but he’s not denying the antisemitism.
Recently, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather was in London shopping when all of a sudden he and his entourage reportedly became the targets of an antisemitic mob because of the billionaire’s support for Israel.
Multiple videos that have been published on social media show Mayweather being circled by a large group of people while he was at Hatton Gardens on a shopping trip. The mob, which grows more and more angry as things go along, then proceeds to follow Mayweather while he was leaving and trying to get back into his vehicle.
The footage shows the antisemitic mob yelling expletives at Mayweather and his entourage, with security eventually getting him into his SUV and away from the chaos.

It was reported that things got sparked up because of Mayweather’s open support for Israel and Jews.
According to a report from The Sun, an individual confronted Mayweather regarding his support while he was shopping, which led to the legend doubling down on his stance. That’s when someone reportedly “took a swing” at Mayweather.
“Floyd took a few hits during it, but his security was trying to push people back,” per The Sun’s sources. (RELATED: Floyd Mayweather Gets Attacked By Antisemitic Mob Over His Support For Israel: REPORT)
But Mayweather is denying the report, saying that he wasn’t “touched in any way.” Taking to Instagram, he addressed the “rumors” in a statement Tuesday.
“Let me set the record straight… there’s no truth to the rumors going around. I wasn’t punched or touched in any way. What you’re seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control,” said Mayweather. “I was in the UK for a quick 48-hour stop to do some shopping, and unfortunately, people let jealousy and negativity fuel false stories. I’m perfectly fine, and there’s really nothing more to it.”
Absolutely love the denial from Floyd about not being punched! Because, of course, my man would deny that! Love it!
