Does Floyd Mayweather support Israel?

Floyd Mayweather has long been an advocate for Israel. His journey of solidarity with the country started in 2014 when he sent a private plane full of medical supplies to help those injured in conflict. Since then, he’s always speaking out against antisemitism.

His March trip to Israel really showed how much he cares about the nation. Mayweather visited the Dan Family Aish World Center, where he talked about antisemitism and how it’s spreading around the world. He also toured the headquarters of United Hatzalah, a famous emergency medical service, and learned firsthand about their amazing work.

The Champion for Israel award, which he received at the Dan Family Aish World Center, recognized Mayweather’s efforts to fight hate and his unwavering support for Israel. He was praised for his positive message and standing up against antisemitism.

At United Hatzalah, 'Money' was especially fascinated by the 'ambucycles', which are emergency motorcycles rigged like ambulances.

In a show of even more support, the boxing superstar donated a bunch of medicycles to Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service.
