Antisemitic Mob Targets Mayweather Over Support of Israel
Earlier this week, undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather faced an antisemitic mob while shopping in London. He was approached by an individual questioning his vocal support of Israel, a stance that has become increasingly rare among progressive politicians and Hollywood.According to the New York Post, “A crowd of about 20 to 30 people started rushing him, with some accusing the retired boxer of supporting genocide.” Instead of backing down, Mayweather stood firm, boldly declaring, “I’m proud to support the Jews.”
“I wasn’t punched or touched in any way. Where you’re seeing is my security doing their job to keep things under control.” Floyd Mayweather

Earlier this week, undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather faced an antisemitic mob while shopping in London. He was approached by an individual questioning his vocal support of Israel, a stance that has become increasingly rare among progressive politicians and Hollywood.
According to the New York Post, “A crowd of about 20 to 30 people started rushing him, with some accusing the retired boxer of supporting genocide.” Instead of backing down, Mayweather stood firm, boldly declaring, “I’m proud to support the Jews.”

This wasn’t just a random encounter; it was a targeted on someone who, despite not being Jewish, has consistently demonstrated unwavering support for Israel. Fortunately, Mayweather’s security team managed the situation professionally, ensuring his safe departure.
Mayweather’s position on Israel is a reminder of what true courage looks like. If more people had the backbone to speak out clearly and unapologetically in support of Israel, these terrorist sympathizers, enabled by a complicit media, would lose the platform they rely on to spread their propaganda.
This incident also sheds light on the troubling state of the United Kingdom. The country’s lax immigration policies and misdirected priorities in law enforcement have created an environment where riots in the streets are ignored, but social media posts can land someone in jail. Anti-Semitism is rising at an alarming rate, and even major cities like London are no longer safe for Jews or even their allies.
The takeaway here is twofold. First, gratitude is due to Floyd Mayweather for standing with Israel and refusing to bow to intimidation. Second, this incident is a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and action against the growing tide of anti-Semitism.
As the world watches events unfold in the Middle East, it is critical that those who believe in freedom, justice, and the sanctity of human life stand strong and refuse to be silenced.
Mayweather’s resolve in the face of a hostile mob should inspire us all to do the same.
