Sparring partners? Floyd Mayweather's burly bodyguards tower over the pint-sized boxing champion as he indulges in a luxury shopping spree in London

  • 7ft tall Alfonso 'Big Church' Redic is the 31st kingpin of Floyd's security
  • Mayweather needed his four-man team to protect him on Mayfair street

Undefeated world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has one of the world's most powerful punches - but still needed giant bodyguards to protect him on a genteel London street.
The heavyweight team guarding the 5ft 8ins millionaire – and his £400,000 diamond-encrusted watch - in Mayfair yesterday included the 7ft tall Alfonso 'Big Church' Redic - the 31st kingpin of his security detail.
The four-man squad walked along Mount Street in central London with Mayweather as he made his way from one designer flagship store to another - and helped carry his shopping.  
Later the £300milllion boxing star’s security was bolstered by more men and he was swept away in a convoy of three black limousines.

Squad goals!? Floyd Mayweather's burly bodyguards towered over the super-rich boxing champion as he indulged in a luxury shopping spree in London on Tuesday

Mayweather, 38, proved himself a true believer of the mantra, 'if you've got it flaunt it' as he sported the eye-wateringly expensive jewellery on his left wrist.
He understandably wore the prized possession with pride, deliberately rolling up his jumper sleeve to ensure it was fully visible.
The Michigan-born sports star also ensured to make a statement when it came to his sartorial choices and he rocked a unique - and no doubt high-end designer - hooded jumper which was emblazoned with a quirky face motif.
He teamed the bold piece with a pair of everyday blue jeans and some black and yellow Nike trainers.

Mayweather was seen nipping in and out a string of luxury stores which he had the pleasure of browsing in private as staff barred any other customers from entering.
He visited the Christian Louboutin flagship from which one male member of his team exited with no less than five bags filled with the famed designer's red-soled shoes.
The boxing champion then hot-footed it to Balmain with six male companions and three females prioritising his safety at all times.
Mayweather was seemingly feeling equally spendy inside the French label's London store as he showed off his buys on Twitter later in the day.
He appeared to have bought much of the shop's stock as he shared a photo showing nine bags filled to the brim with brand-new designer goodies.
The super-rich champ played down his spending spree by captioning the picture: 'Did a little shopping today.'
Safety in numbers: Mayweather, 38, was accompanied by nine members of his entourage - six males and three females

The social-media post depicted Mayweather standing against the shop front.
He had his hands in his pockets with one leg bent up and resting on the wall in front of the Balmain sign.
Mayweather's shopping bags were displayed all around him and his nonchalant attitude to his super-expensive spree certainly entertained his followers.
'Did he say a little shopping?,' one commented while another remarked: 'You could pay all my college with one of thoes bags lmao.'
We got you: His team watched his back as they ensured he was able to shop without interruption
