Former professional boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is using his private jet to deliver food and other supplies to Israel amid its ongoing war with the Hamas terror organization, according to reports.

The aircraft, called Air Mayweather, will also transport bulletproof vests for Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldiers, Los Angeles magazine reported.

A representative for Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2017 with an undefeated record of 50 wins and no losses, told the magazine that the jet is being loaded to take off this week and is expected to arrive in Israel over the weekend.

The equipment onboard will be handed out by his pilots, which include US Army and US Air Force veterans.

The news comes hours after Mayweather took to social media to express solidarity with Israel against the Hamas terror attacks.

On Monday, he uploaded on Instagram two photos of himself in Jerusalem, overlooking the Old City, and wrote in the caption, “Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes.”

“This is not a time for politics,” he added. “This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!”

Mayweather visited Israel in November 2022.

“Everyone just do what you can, listen to the government follow everybody like sheep, be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people,” said Tyson Fury in 2016.

British boxer Tyson Fury reclaimed the heavyweight champion title on Saturday after defeating Deontay Wilder in the seventh round of the WBC Championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

With the attention, comments the boxing champion made in the past have resurfaced. In 2016, Fury was caught making anti-Semitic, homophobic, and sexist comments during an hour-long interview by SportsView London.

“Everyone just do what you can, listen to the government follow everybody like sheep, be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers all the TV stations. Be brainwashed by them all,” Fury said during the interview.

The interview, now removed from YouTube, caused outrage in the Jewish community and sparked an outcry by human rights activists.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) unsuccessfully petitioned the British Boxing Board of Control for Fury to be banned from the sport.

“This is not his first offense, he specializes in outrageous offensive and racist slurs. Behavior like this should prompt his sponsors to withdraw their backing,” CAA spokesman Jonathan Sacerdoti said at the time.

Following the incident, Fury apologized for his offensive remarks

“I apologize to anyone who may have taken offense at any of my comments,” Fury said in a statement. “I said some things which may have hurt some people, which as a Christian man is not something I would ever want to do. Though it is not an excuse, sometimes the heightened media scrutiny has caused me to act out in public.”

“I mean no harm or disrespect to anyone, and I know more is expected of me as an ambassador of British boxing, and I promise in future to hold myself up to the highest possible standard. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am in no way a racist or bigot, and I hope the public accepts this apology,” he added.

According to givemesport.com, Fury has received an invitation to the White House by President Donald Trump and to the Vatican by Pope Francis following his win on Saturday.
