Lionel Messi threatened over disrespectful World Cup act by Mexican boxing star Canelo Alvarez

Lionel Messi and Canelo Alvarez

Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez has let loose on Lionel Messi after images emerged of the Argentinian football icon stepping on a Mexican jersey during the team's celebration in the dressing room after their 2-0 victory yesterday in the FIFA World Cup.

Alvarez, a proud Mexican, took furious exception to the vision today, taking to Twitter to share his disgust alongside a threat of physical violence to the footballer.

The vision, which has been widely shared on Twitter, shows Messi inadvertently pushing a Mexico jersey aside with his foot as he attempts to take off his shoes while Argentina’s team celebrate their victory.

Meanwhile, Argentina is in second place with 3 points, while Poland leads Pool C with 4 points.

Argentina will meet Poland at 7am Thursday.
