World boxing champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has issued an apology to Lionel Messi after accusing the Argentine World Cup star of mistreating a Mexican soccer jersey. Alvarez took to Twitter last weekend to vent anger at Messi, saying the football star had “insulted” Mexico by appearing to place his foot on an El Tri jersey on the floor of the Argentina locker room. “I was carried away by the passion and love I feel for my country and I made comments that were out of place for which I want to apologize to Messi and the people of Argentina,” Alvarez wrote on Twitter. “Every day we learn something new and this time it was my turn. “I wish both teams much success in their matches today and will continue supporting Mexico until the end.”
