Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is a major ally of Israel. He is making that clear by participating in the Solidarity March for Israel in the wake of the attacks launched against the country by Hamas.
“Floyd Mayweather, world champion boxer is expected to march along with NBA players as well as influencer Montana Tucker, who will also speak during the program,” a news release from the museum stated, according to KTLA in Los Angeles.
Mayweather recently created headlines by reportedly sending his private jet to Israel with aid, including bulletproof vests, to be personally distributed by the military veterans that comprise his pilot roster.
“I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists,” Mayweather posted to Instagram last week. Mayweather became a supporter of the country following a surprise trip to Israel in November 2022 after an exhibition fight in the UAE.
Other participating include California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis; Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dov; Jewish Federation’s Rabbi Noah Farkas; Omar Qudrat, Muslim Coalition of America; Pastor Greg Laurie and Founder and CEO Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Rabbi Marvin Hier.
According to the report, the release also states that “California Governor Gavin Newsom will send a message of solidarity via video.”
The march on Sunday comes after a pro-Palestine protest in Los Angeles the following day.
