FLOYD MAYWEATHER RECEIVES 'CHAMPION OF ISRAEL' AWARD ... For Work Following Hamas Attack
TMZ ^ | 12/13/2023 | TMZ

Floyd Mayweather went to great lengths to help Israelis following the October 7th terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas ... and for his extraordinary efforts, the 50-0 legend was honored!

Mayweather and the more than 600 people in attendance, including stars like Emmanuelle Chriqui and Montana Tucker, also raised over $4 million for Israel.

Mayweather was at the sold-out Faena Forum in South Florida Tuesday night where he was presented with the "Champion of Israel" Award from friends Jona Rechnitz and James McNair ... recognizing the legend's enormous contributions to the Israelis.

Floyd Mayweather Receives 'Champion Of Israel' Award Remember, TBE sent his Air Mayweather private jet, flown by his pilots, to Tel Aviv with over 5,000 lbs. of supplies for both civilians and the military (he even hopped on a video call and had a chat with a special forces unit that received some of the equipment).

Floyd also attended a pro-Israeli rally in Los Angeles where he marched with thousands of fellow supporters ... and even sold custom TMT hats online with proceeds going to charity.

Aside from celebrating Floyd for all he's done, Tuesday's event was also aimed at raising money for Magen David Adom, a Red Cross-affiliated organization in Israel.

Thank you for supporting Israel!

From the very week of October 7th, Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated 15-time boxing champion, used his personal jet to deliver food and other supplies to Israel, to help those Israelis who were wounded, displaced, or in need of help.

The aircraft, called Air Mayweather, also transported bulletproof vests for Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldiers, which was handed out by his pilots, many of which included US Army and US Air Force veterans.

Mayweather has also since emerged as a vocal advocate for the Jewish people during the recent rise in worldwide antisemitism.

In response to his incredible efforts, Mayweather just received the “Champion of Israel” award at the American Friends of Magen David Adom Gala in Miami.

He put everything on the line for the Jewish People, so let’s all show him our support and give him a big thank you!

Hopefully, he will inspire many others, especially public figures, to stand on the right side of history.

So please repost this, sharing your request for other public figures to finally take a stand and ask for this hatred and antisemitism to finally be put to an end!

My guess is that a few Jews were very nice to Floyd and helped him in his boxing career.

Good for Floyd. I want to show support also, but beyond putting a sticker on my car that I stand with Israel and reaching out to my Jewish friends to tell them the same, I have no idea what to do.

At one time, I stumbled across a site that accepted volunteers from America, that traveled to Israel, to backfill civilian duties supporting the IDF in the rear echelon. That discovery led to a site that provided food to the IDF, like buying a soldier in the field a burger.

A quick search found a similar concept wherein one can buy pizzas and other foods (in the ‘shop’ section). Use your judgment, as I have not participated.

Serving the IDF for 21 Years

PizzaIDF was founded by Menachem Kuchar in 2002 as a local community initiative to raise food and other items for IDF soldiers during the Second Intifada. We trace our roots from the annual Mishloach Manot Project that Menachem initiated in the early 90’s. Since then, PizzaIDF has been sending pizzas, falafels, barbecues, and other food items to active duty IDF soldiers across Israel with the help of private individuals and businesses. Our mission is to send food and love to the men and women working hard to protect the State of Israel

Good for him.*

Was disappointed in his parroting of the conspiracy babble when Tyson Fury beat Deonte Wilder, but I will applaud him, here.

I guess saying that Fury beat Wilder is a bit of an understatement.

Through superior talent, skill, conditioning and, most of all, will, Tyson Fury absolutely crushed Wilder 3 times.

Donate to the Israeli charity mentioned in the article. Take a Jewish friend to a gun range and teach them the benefit of gun ownership and self protection.
