Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez has issued a stern warning to Argentina legend Lionel Messi, who he accused of dishonoring his country at the 2022 World Cup.
Canelo’s warning came after Messi helped Argentina keep their World Cup hopes alive on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Mexico. Following the game, a video circulated on social media in which Messi, while celebrating in the locker room with his teammates, appeared to kick a Mexico shirt that was on the floor.
Alvarez took to Twitter on Sunday to seemingly threaten Messi for disrespecting his homeland.
