Floyd Mayweather Video Chats Israeli Special Forces Unit, Expresses Support

Days after sending his private jet to Israel to deliver thousands of pounds of supplies, Floyd Mayweather spent time on a video call with some of the IDF special forces soldiers who received some of the goods.

Mayweather, from Los Angeles, spoke to the Israeli Defense Force's Yahalom Unit -- a special forces anti-terrorism unit -- on Monday, and gave the soldiers a bit of an inspirational pep talk ... as they fight for their country.

"We only want peace in Israel. Thank you for standing up for your country," Floyd told the soldiers, who were wearing custom TMT x Israel hats, along with their IDF uniforms, weapons slung, and faces covered to protect their identity.
