Canelo Alvarez turns on "b*****d" Sergio Aguero for joining Lionel Messi row

Canelo Alvarez has taken aim at yet another football star in his row over Lionel Messi's Mexico jersey kick, slamming Sergio Aguero as a "b******".

The pound-for-pound boxing great has been enraged after footage emerged that appeared to show legendary footballer Messi kicking a Mexico jersey that he was given after Argentina's 2-0 win over them on Saturday. The PSG star could be seen in a video of his team celebrating their win, in which he scored the opening goal, appearing to kick the opposition's shirt.

Alvarez took to social media to express his distaste with Messi's actions, and received backlash from around the sporting world for a perceived overreaction. Aguero, the former Argentina striker, was one of Alvarez's many critics, including Cesc Fabregas, with the players explaining that the boxer doesn't understand dressing room culture in football.
