World boxing champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez issued an apology to Lionel Messi on Wednesday after accusing the Argentine World Cup star of mistreating a Mexican football 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.
"Did you see Messi cleaning the changing room with our jersey and flag????" Mexican icon Alvarez wrote on Twitter.
"He had better ask God that I don't find him!!"
Alvarez's outburst elicited immediate responses from those defending Messi and claiming there was nothing unusual about a football jersey being on the floor after a match.
Argentina captain Messi had apparently swapped shirts with his Mexico counterpart Andres Guardado.
On Wednesday, Alvarez, 32, apologized to Messi and Argentina, saying he had overreacted.
"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."
Messi had a penalty saved but Argentina still advanced to the last 16 of the World Cup as Group C winners after a 2-0 victory over Poland on Wednesday.
Poland also went through as runners-up although a 2-1 win for Mexico over Saudi Arabia in the group's other game meant Czeslaw Michniewicz's side advanced only on goal difference.

Former Italian cycling champion and one-time Olympic silver medalist Davide Rebellin has died after a hit-and-run collision involving him and a truck near his home in the Venice region, local media reported on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old is regarded as one of the finest classics racers of his generation, Rebellin won seven of cycling's major one-day races.
In 2004, he was the first rider to sweep the Ardennes Classics treble of Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Fleche Wallone and Amstel Gold.
He also won the Fleche in 2007 and 2009 as well as classics in San Sebastian and Zurich, both in 1997.
There were also stage race triumphs in 2001 and 2007 as he won the prestigious Tirreno-Adriatico and the Paris-Nice.
He took part in 19 Grand Tours including 12 Giro d'Italia, where he won his sole major tour stage and wore the overall leader's pink jersey for six days in 1996.
"This is an infinitely sad day for all those in cycling," Tour de France chief Christian Prudhomme said.
Rebellin was stripped of his Olympic road race silver medal from the 2008 Beijing Games after returning a positive test for the blood-booster EPO Cera.
"This is a victory for clean cycling," Rebellin had insisted after taking the silver. He always denied the offense.
Rebellin's positive, in both samples, came months after the end of the Beijing Games, during a re-testing campaign.
Lotto-Soudal general manager John Lelangue said Wednesday he was stupefied by the news of the rider's death.
"I just can't believe it. He was with us Sunday night at the Monte Carlo Criterium dinner," he said.
FDJ chief Marc Madiot compared Rebellin to a choirboy.
"He was a really nice guy. Polite, reserved, never a word out of place, he lived like a monk or a choirboy," said Madiot, who managed him in the late 90s.
"Once, after a training camp, we had a bit of a party that got out of hand, but he didn't even have a single drink."
Seven-time Tour de France King of the Mountains Richard Virenque also remembered him.
"He was a lovely, loyal person and we shared some wonderful moments together," said Virenque.
Italian media reported his death Wednesday saying he was killed instantly at a roundabout in a collision with a truck that left the scene without stopping.
Rebellin raced on until last year in the lower divisions and is remembered by his family as someone "who lived to ride his bike".
