Mayweather, 47, was accompanied by his security team when members of the crowd hurled racial slurs and taunts at him.
At least one individual reportedly tried to strike the undefeated fighter, as reported by The Sun.
Witnesses claim the confrontation began when Floyd Mayweather responded to questions about his stance on Israel.
“He said he was proud to support the Jews,” one onlooker shared, describing the attack as “very targeted.”
Despite the chaos, sources close to Mayweather confirmed he was not harmed during the ordeal.
The boxer later addressed the situation on Instagram, shutting down rumors about any physical altercation.
“Let me set the record straight,” Mayweather wrote. “There’s no truth to the rumors going around. I wasn’t punched or touched in any way. What you’re seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control. I was in the UK for a quick 48-hour stop to do some shopping, and unfortunately, people let jealousy and negativity fuel false stories. I’m perfectly fine, and there’s really nothing more to it.”
