Floyd Mayweather recently declared he stood for peace and human rights. Likewise, condemning antisemitism, he claimed he stood with Israel “against Hamas terrorists” since the latter did not represent “the people of Palestine“. Doing so and showing concern for safety and innocent lives, ‘TBE’ provided Israeli soldiers with food and bullet-proof vests among other things via his private jet worth $60 million.

According to Mayweather, who hoped for the return of “all Americans and Israelis,” this was not a time for politics. In his opinion, one had to show concern for the hostages and raise a collective voice against terrorism. As a result, besides helping Israeli soldiers, Mayweather recently shared pictures of several innocent people reportedly being held hostages. In this process, apart from denouncing terrorism, here’s what the 50-0 boxer said.
