Videos of the scuffle appeared on social networks this Tuesday, December 10. Footage shows Floyd Mayweather being evacuated from a luxury store in an upmarket area of London. A group of men follow the famous boxer to force him to leave the premises. According to testimonies collected by The Sun, the man with 50 victories in 50 fights would have been taken to task for his support for Israel.
“There were maybe eight to ten people involved in his pursuit,” a source told the British media who said he witnessed the scene. Someone said Mayweather was shopping when asked why he supported Israel . He (Mayweather, Editor's note.) said he was proud to support the Jews. Then someone threw a punch at him because of that.
Floyd Mayweather denies being hit
Shortly after the controversy, the main party denied these allegations outright. On Instagram, Floyd Mayweather assures that he was “neither hit nor touched” during the riot: “I was in the United Kingdom for a quick 48 hour stop for shopping.
