Boxer Canelo offers apologies after Messi threat

The Mexican world champion was furious following his country’s World Cup defeat by Argentina

Mexican boxing world champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has apologized after he threatened footballer Lionel Messi online following his country’s 2-0 defeat against Argentina at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Canelo reacted furiously after footage emerged on social media of Messi appearing to step on and wipe the floor of his team's dressing room with a Mexican jersey following last week’s football match between the two nations, prompting the veteran boxer to issue a thinly-veiled threat to the iconic forward.

“He better pray to God that I don't find him!!” Canelo wrote on social media in response to the footage.

“Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico!”
