Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sued by a California man after he allegedly directed his bodyguard to assault the man during an incident at a restaurant nearly two years ago, per TMZ.

Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging that the incident took place at a Yard House in Los Angeles near Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 10, 2022. Martinez attempted to record videos of Mayweather as he entered the restaurant, but when Mayweather noticed he was recording, he "signaled for one of his bodyguards to handle the situation," according to TMZ.

The bodyguard allegedly struck Martinez, causing him to fall to the ground. Martinez further alleged that the bodyguard then wrestled with him in an attempt to get his phone away from him.

Martinez stated in his lawsuit that in addition to the mental suffering and emotional distress he's still dealing with over the situation, he also allegedly suffered injuries during the incident that still require treatment. He named Mayweather, his company and Yard House in his lawsuit, which is seeking unspecified damages.

Martinez had filed a battery report with authorities when the incident first occurred, but TMZ reported at the time that a witness had spoken with law enforcement and contradicted parts of his story.

For his part, Mayweather has denied that an incident ever took place, as a representative said the 46-year-old only "stopped by" the restaurant and left because it was too crowded.
