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.
