Sergio Agüero, former Argentina and Manchester City striker, took to the platform and stated to Canelo that it’s a common practice for kits to be on the floor after matches. Not satisfied with that answer the boxer continued to answer tweets and even retweeted a doctored photograph believing it was Messi’s social networks.

Even Mexican national team star Andrés Guardado came to the aid of the Argentine, now the pound of pound great has had to issue an apology for a completely mistimed and misunderstood “fight” with Lionel Messi.

Saúl Canelo Álvarez issues apology to Lionel Messi

Saúl Canelo Álvarez received huge public backlash from fans all around the world, including Mexican fans for his “ignorance” and lack of soccer knowledge. Many fans took the time to inform Canelo about Messi’s character and many sports influencers took to social media to tell Canelo he has poorly tried to show nationalism by throwing mud on one of soccer’s biggest class acts.

Canelo tweeted, “These last few days I got carried away by the passion and love I feel for my country and made comments that were out of place for which I want to apologize to Messi and the people of Argentina. Every day we learn something new and this time it was my turn. I wish both teams much success in their matches today and here we will continue supporting Mexico until the end.”

More confusing by Canelo’s original statement was what kind of national pride was he trying to show? Even the least knowledgeable soccer fan knows of the respect Messi has for his rivals and other cultures. If Canelo wanted to jump on the World Cup bandwagon, it was poorly executed.

After Argentina defeated Mexico in Matchday 2 of Group C in Qatar 2022, a leaked video spotted Lionel Messi accidentally kicking Andres Guardado’s jersey. This was not well taken by some Mexicans, but it was Saul Alvarez the one that attacked the forward the most.

Sergio Aguero defended his compatriot, but Alvarez was not happy about it. They started a discussion in Twitter that went all the way to Instagram, where the boxer sent the former soccer player an audio continuing this fight.

Sergio Aguero reveals Canelo Alvarez sent him an audio over Lionel Messi’s Mexico jersey incident

It is clear that if there was a chance of a friendship between Sergio Aguero and Saul Alvarez, that opportunity is gone. Kun defended Lionel Messi over his incident with Mexico’s jersey, but the boxer stepped up for his country.

After Canelo Alvarez judged Lionel Messi’s actions with the Mexican kit, Aguero answered his tweets defending his compatriot. Both entered a very tough discussion that the boxer took to Instagram.

During a livestream on Twitch, Aguero revealed to Chicharito Hernandez and Ibai Llanos that Canelo Alvarez sent him an audio via Instagram, and of course it was not very peacefull.

“That’s what I liked you for, asshole. You should respect my opinion,” said Canelo to Aguero. “I will respect yours if you respect mine,” answered the soccer player, but the boxer’s response was not very clear with as he only sent thumbs up and thumbs down emojis.

On the livestream, Aguero joked with Chicharito and Ibai about a possible fight with Canelo. “Are you crazy!? I wouldn’t stand a chance against him,” said the Argentinian.

What led to Canelo’s meltdown was a video of Lionel Messi taking his cleat off after the Mexico match where Messi without knowing kicked the Mexico shirt that was handed to him after the game. Canelo went on a tirade even challenging Messi to a fight.

Worse yet Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez fell for some internet trolls sending doctored photographs of Messi’s social media, one where Messi’s Instagram account supposedly put the Mexico jersey on a broomstick.

Mexico’s Andrés Guardado calls out Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez

Betis midfielder Andrés Guardado talked to Argentina’s TyC Sports about the incident and did not hold back stating that ‘Canelo’ Álvarez has “no clue what goes on in a locker room”.

“I know the person Leo is. Perhaps Canelo doesn’t understand what happens in a locker room. It seems silly to me. Leo has had many gestures, not only with me… What has been generated is to sell something or generate controversy.”

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez fandom of the sport of soccer has come under huge question even by Mexican fans, considering at one-point Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez changed teams in Mexico and has publicly “fought” with Lionel Messi completely not understanding the character of the Argentine legend.

Guardado also shined a light on whose Mexican jersey it was on the floor, “The shirt on the floor was mine and I kept his and I still put it on the floor because that is how the kit crew orders everything.”

After Argentina defeated Mexico with a 2-0 score, the South Americans celebrated in their locker room chanting and screaming. This moment was captured in a video where Lionel Messi accidentally kicks their rival’s jersey while taking off his shoes.

Of course everyone started talking about it. While some fans defend Canelo’s ideas, others are with Messi. After Kun Aguero showed his support to his former teammate, now Cesc Fabregas has also talked about it and attacked the Mexican boxer with a rough statement.

Cesc Fabregas’ comments to Canelo Alvarez over Lionel Messi’s Mexico jersey incident

After Argentina defeated Mexico in a very important game for both squads, everything was joy in the South Americans‘ locker room. All the players were jumping and chanting, Lionel Messi included.

Unfortunately, a video about Lionel Messi’s action was not very well taken by some Mexicans. The Argentinian forward sits to take off his shoes and accidentally kicks Mexico’s jersey. Some fans think he kicked it on purpose, while others said this is a normal situation.

Canelo Alvarez is with the first ones. The Mexican boxer tweeted against Lionel Messi and even threataned him as he thinks the Argentinian showed no respect to his country by putting the jersey on the floor and then kicking it.

But there are some persons that are on Messi’s side. Cesc Fabregas is one of those. The Spanish midfielder knows the Argentinian and defended him against Canelo’s tweets by revealing how things are inside a locker room.

“Youdon’t even know the person nor undertand how a locker room works or what happens after a game,” responde Fabregas to the boxer’s tweet. “All the jerseys, even the ones we use, go to the ground and then be washed. Even more if you are celebrating a huge victory.”

Of course this brought rude comments to Messi, but also for Alvarez. It doesn’t seem like the PSG player wants to kick the jersey on purpose and soccer players use to throw even their own kits to the ground after a match.

Sergio Aguero, Messi’s former teammate in Argentina, also defended him against Alvarez. “Jerseys go to the floor due to the sweat and then he (Lionel Messi) kicks it, but not on purpose,” Manchester City’s legend said.

For Mexico the defeat meant that El Tri is in serious danger of missing the next round altogether and sums up a very disappointing last two years for Tata Martino’s side, who whatever happens at this World Cup, it looks like the Martino era will end.

Surprisingly an unexpected “showdown” has occurred with famed Mexican fighter Saúl Canelo Álvarez who accused Lionel Messi via Twitter of “cleaning the floor with our kit and national flag”, Álvarez continued by tweeting “I hope I don’t find him” with angry and punch emojis.

Sergio Agüero responds to Saúl Canelo Álvarez

Coming to the aid of his former teammate and best friend, Sergio Agüero tweeted to Canelo, “Mr. Canelo, don’t look for excuses or problems, surely you don’t know anything about soccer and what happens in a locker room. The kits are always on the floor after the games because of sweat and then if you see, (Messi) makes a movement to remove his cleat and accidentally hits it.”

Another video has surfaced where Messi is simply removing his cleat but unnoticeably kicks the Mexican jersey by accident.

Saúl Canelo Álvarez, who is an avid soccer fan, seems to have been very angry about the game, the 32-year-old is infamous for changing teams that he supported in Mexico and now has gone after the best soccer player of all time. Still Messi and El Kun might want to avoid Canelo Álvarez who has a 58-2-2 record with 39 KOs.

Therehas been a huge controversy surrounding Jake Paul’s boxing career as he has not been able to legitimize it yet. When he was near to do it with a fight againstHasim Rahman Jr. (12-1-0, 6 KOs), this last one was unable to get to the weight and the show has to be cancelled 10 days before it was scheduled.

So it has been a rough time for Jake Paul and his team as social media is putting them under the spotlight. That’s why, in a desperation call, the former actor has spoken and named Canelo Alvarez to be his next fighter.

Jake Paul wants Canelo Alvarez to be his next match in his boxing career

After the match againstHasim Rahman Jr. was cancelled, Jake Paul talked in a press conference about his next step. The former YouTuber now wants to fight Canelo Alvarez and he is confident that he could defeat the Mexican.

“Canelo and I is one of the biggest fights to be made in boxing, and I know I could beat him. People laugh at that, but Dmitry Bivol showed he is very beatable and I have a style, range, speed and power similar to Bivol”, said Jake Paul.

Also, in case that Canelo Alvarez is unavailable, Jake Paul said that Myke Tyson, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz are also three solid options to fight with him before the year ends.

As the fight against GGG aproaches, Canelo is already thinking in what is going to happen next. Gennady should not be a problem for Alvarez as theKazakhstani accepted this duel to win more money before his retirement. Golovkin, a 40 year-old boxer, is entering the last part of his career and this third timeagainst the Mexican could be the end of it.

Regarding Alvarez, the Mexican has only lost two events in his career; one against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and another to Dmitry Bivol. This last one was a huge surprise for the boxing world as Canelo was a clear favorite to win. The Russian got the victory through anunanimous decision in a 12-round fight.

Canelo Alvarez wants the revenge against Dmitry Bivol

According to Eddie Hear, a British sports promoter, Canelo has already asked for a revenge against Dmitry Bivol later this 2022. The Mexican did not want the rematch immediately in order to be more prepared, so that’s why he chose Gennady Golovkin for September 17th.

The third fight against GGG does not generates so much interest in the boxing fandom. If everyting goes according to Canelo’s plan and he defeats Golovkin, then it should be announced the Alvarez-Bivol II for December.

During the promotion of the trilogy between GGG and Alvarez, Canelo (57-2-2)showed some fury against thekazakhstani, who said that he is angry because of his mostrecent loss. On May 7th, 2022, the mexican pugilist lost to Bivol (20-0) in a fight that everyone expected another championship for Saul, but the duel ended badly for him.

Now, Triple G (42-1-1) will try to win its first match against Canelo. In 2017, the fight ended in a draw. A year after, Saul Alvarez defeated Gennady via majority decision. With 40 years-old, Golovkin is looking like the underdog for next September , but this recent loss could change things up for the kazakhstani.

Why does Golovkin says the Canelo is mad at him?

“I can’t speak for him (Saul Alvarez).Perhaps he needs to motivate himself after his loss”, said Golovkin to Fight Hub TV when asked about why is Canelo so angry at him. “To me, it’s not personal, and it’s just another fight”, stablished.

The bets put Canelo as the clear favorite for the third fight as Golovkin does not seem interested at all in the result of the match. During the press conferences, he uses an interpreter for every question, which takes a lot of the heat away from a possible controversial answer.

Considered by many to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Canelo is now looking ahead to his fight against Dmitry Bivol on Saturday May 7th. With an impressive boxing record of 57-1-2 the 31-year-old has passions other than boxing.

Canelo is a big soccer fan having pledge allegiance to Chivas of his native Guadalajara, but in 2021 Canelo made the cardinal sin of not only switching teams in Liga MX but also picking one of Chivas biggest rivals, find out who the team is and why Canelo switched sides.

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez now supports Atlas

Canelo was once photographed with now Los Angeles Galaxy forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernández while wearing the Chivas jersey, but in December of 2021 he switched sides.

According to Canelo’s trainer Eddy Reynoso the reason Canelo decided to become an Atlas supporter is because the world champion offered the club a motivational speech in preparation for their Liga MX final against Leon.

Reynosowent as far as saying. “(Canelo) as of now is aAtlas supporter”, after giving the team that motivational speech.

While Canelo may have committed one of the biggest sins in soccer tradition, it’s doubtful anyone will take it up with the world champion.

Atlas and Chivas are bitter city rivals, kind of like Everton and Liverpool, and play in what is known as the Clásico Tapatío, which Chivas has historically dominated over Atlas.

Alvarez last fought against Callum Smith in December, winning the belts that he will defend this Saturday. The Mexican pugilist is ready to continue making history and this fight presents a big opportunity for him to keep increasing his legacy in the world of boxing.

Yildirim is ready to shock the world and earn a big win over the highly favored Canelo, who is going through a very good time right now. The Turkish fighter has nothing to lose and a lot to win and that could play in his favor this weekend.

The 30-year-old is ready to continue his incredible career with a win over Avni Yildirim and defend his titles two months after his last fight against Callum Smith in San Antonio, Texas to close the year 2020.

Alvarez has had a couple of moved years when he fought some big fights and faced some setbacks in his career. Canelo is now a 4-division champion but there was a time when he was stripped of his titles, just like it happened to several stars in the past. Today, we’re going to take a look at that situation.

Why did Canelo Alvarez lose his belts?

Back in August of 2019, the Mexican pugilist was stripped of his IBF middleweight championship. The reason? He was unable to agree to a fight to defend his belt and the organization made the decision to vacate the title.

He was given some free passes to keep looking for a fight but when the deadline passed, the fighter lost his belt. IBF President Daryl Peoples explained the decision with a letter, via Dan Rafael of ESPN:

“It is crystal clear from the correspondence that on July 26, 2019, [Golden Boy matchmaker] Robert Diaz, on behalf of Golden Boy Promotions, agreed that Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez would relinquish the IBF middleweight championship title, with no further negotiations or purse bid, if there was no completed deal between him and Derevyanchenko by the agreed upon extended deadline of Monday July 29, 2019 at 3 p.m. ET. As of today, August 1, 2019, the IBF has been advised that there is no such deal.”

Canelo has moved on from that category and is ready to defend his super middleweight title against the Turkish opponent this weekend, trying to continue his good moment at the highest level of boxing. He’s not letting any organization or fighter taking his belt now and he’ll try to keep things that way when he faces Yildirim.
