FLOYD MAYWEATHER continued his UK tour in a Union Jack-emblazoned hoodie – and a diamond-encrusted watch.
And the boxing legend partied with fans, including signing a tattoo of his face on a punter’s leg.

Mayweather has visited Newcastle, Glasgow and Blackpool on a week-long tour, with his latest stop off being London and surrounding areas.
The 43-year-old uploaded a series of photos of his trip on his Instagram account, showing him wearing the custom-designed top as well as a diamond-encrusted watch.
The Richard Mille watch was modified with a red and blue strap to fit in with his Union Jack look, and is believed to cost at least £200,000.
It will sit in nicely with the retired boxer’s collection.
After beating Conor McGregor to rack up his 50th straight win as a pro, Mayweather purchased a £13.75m timepiece.

Recently rapper and former pal 50 Cent hit out at Mayweather, claiming the man nicknamed “Money” had run out of cash and therefore needed to return to the ring to boost his bank balance.
But his clobber and jewellery suggest he isn’t quite ready to sell off his valuables just yet.
After spending time in the capital, the Michigan-born sports star popped over to Brentwood, Essex, where he made one fan happy by signing his leg tattoo of the boxer.
Then it was a 40-mile drive over to Bushey in Hertfordshire for the great man, where he popped in to Vu Lounge and lit candles on a cake for a family celebrating a birthday.
Days ago speaking on the tour Mayweather hinted at what his next assignment could be – training Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury, 31, totally dominated the 34-year-old American in Las Vegas at the end of February to break his 43-fight unbeaten run and five-year reign as WBC king.
The Bronze Bomber was twice floored before assistant coach Mark Breland threw the towel in during round seven to bring the one-sided beating to an end.
Now Wilder has officially invoked his immediate rematch clause with Fury, with the bout set for July in the US.
During a Q&A in Blackpool, retired Mayweather offered to help his countryman prepare for the trilogy, as he said: “If I train him. If I train him I can teach him how to win.”
Mayweather officially walked away from boxing in 2017 after beating UFC star McGregor in a lucrative crossover bout.
But the American great returned just a year later in an exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and earned £7million for the two-minute fight.
Mayweather – who topped the Forbes rich list of the decade with a £706MILLION fortune – announced in November that he is “coming out of retirement in 2020” to work with UFC boss Dana White.

50 CENT CLAIMS MAYWEATHER IS SKINT
50 Cent – a close friend turned rival to Mayweather – insists the world’s richest sportsman has somehow blown his cash and needs a comeback fight to recoup his wealth.
The rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – told Hot 97: “I think he got to right now because the money’s gone. It’s fight, get the money, spend the money, fight.
“With the lifestyle that money’s gone. Trust me. Now it’s like if you call him he’ll be at your local nightclub because he needs that action right now.”
