Footage has emerged of Floyd Mayweather being attacked in central London yesterday.

The former world champion found himself in trouble after a large crowd descended on him and his entourage while visiting a jewellery store in Hatton Garden.

The boxing legend has been a vocal supporter of Israel in their conflict in Gaza but his support for them had angered a mob in London.

A source told The SUN that he was targeted because of his pro-Israeli views and that a punch was also thrown at the boxer before his security ushered him away.

Floyd Mayweather has released a statement on Instagram and has played down the reports that he was attacked.

He said “What you’re seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control.”

He added: “I 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.”
