Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather was attacked by a vicious mob in London over his support of Israel and the Jewish people, according to witnesses.
Mayweather, 47, was out shopping in London’s swanky Hatton Garden neighborhood when he was targeted by the brutes, videos shared on social media show.
Members of the mob taunted the fighter, who was flanked by security, with racial slurs — and at least one person attempted to take a swing at him, The Sun reported.
A witness told the publication that the altercation erupted after Mayweather told the crowd he was “proud to support the Jews.”
“Someone said that Mayweather had been shopping when he was asked why he supported Israel,” the onlooker said.
“He doubled down and said he was proud to support the Jews,” they continued, adding that the attack “looked very targeted.”
However, at no point during the chaos was Mayweather touched, a source close to the fighter told The Sun.
Mayweather later addressed the assault on Instagram, insisting that he “wasn’t punched or touched in any way.”
“What you’re seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control,” he said.
The boxer noted he was in the UK for a “quick 48-hour stop” to do some shopping.
“I’m perfectly fine, and there’s nothing more to it,” he added.
