World famous boxer Floyd Mayweather took a vacation to England, yet instead of being met by fans with admiration, he was confronted by protestors who evidently disliked his recent public support of Israel.

During the altercation, Mayweather was called racial slurs, and it appeared that they even attempted to strike the world champion fighter, before his bodyguards got him to safety.
However, according to Mayweather's reps, he wasn't touched (per TMZ).
One user on X pointed out that the undefeated (53-0-1) boxer was more of a threat than all of the protestors combined.
"If Mayweather's bodyguards were not breaking up the situation, it would've ended way worse for the Hamas supporters than Mayweather."
For those who don't know, Mayweather has given large donations to help provide aid to the Israel Defense Forces following the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7.

“I will donate 100 bulletproof vests to the volunteers. 90 seconds to save another human being in need is almost the amount of time it takes me to win in the ring.”

Furthermore, earlier this year Mayweather packed his private jet full of supplies and sent them to Tel Aviv.
Then during Mayweather's trip to Israel, he visited the holy city of Jerusalem and met with wounded IDF troops.

To point out this is becoming quite normal in the UK, as in the first half of the year, the Community Security Trust (CST) reported that there were 1,978 anti-Jewish hate incidents, which is double from January-June 2023 (per BBC).
