Floyd Mayweather heads to Israel as boxing legend ‘hosts BBQ for soldiers’ – and enjoys sparring session – five months after sending supplies to the country following Hamas’ terror attack

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather flew to Israel this week to show his support for the country amid the ongoing war with Hamas.

Mayweather, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time, sent a private jet full of supplies to Israel in October in the wake of Hamas terrorist attacks.

More than 31,000 people have been killed in the past six months as the conflict in and around the Gaza Strip continues.

Five months after sending food, water, clothing and body armor to the Middle East, Mayweather himself made the trip to Israel this week to lift the spirits of citizens, workers and soldiers.

The 47-year-old landed in Tel Aviv to show his support for the Israeli cause, even stopping by an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) military base.

According to TMZ SportsDuring his visit, he even organized a barbecue for Israeli soldiers.

Footage from the military base also showed Mayweather sparring in a boxing ring and demonstrating his blistering hand speed on the pads.

The former five-weight world champion then spent time at the headquarters of United Hatzalah – an outpatient service – in Jerusalem, the Magen David Adom blood bank and the Western Wall – where he was seen praying for peace.

While in Israel with friend Jona Rechnitz, he also received a custom-made “TMT” yarmulke as a gift from Rabbi Steven Burg, along with a Star of David necklace pendant from Diamond Club Miami.

Israeli musician Osher Cohen also had a gift for Mayweather, presenting him with a unique painting that showed the fight icon holding up an Israeli flag.

When the conflict with Hamas first began last year, Mayweather pledged his allegiance to Israel on social media, insisting he was “standing with” the country.

He wrote: ‘I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas does not represent the people of Palestine, but is a terrorist group that attacks innocent lives!

“I stand up for all people and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and all those kidnapped as hostages during these heinous war crimes.

‘This is no time for politics. This is first and foremost a time of safety.

‘God bless America. God bless Israel. God bless mankind!’
