Canelo Alvarez reveals he has Cristiano Ronaldo’s phone number just weeks after violent threat to Lionel Messi
CANELO ALVAREZ has claimed to have Cristiano Ronaldo’s phone number.
The Mexican boxer revealed his contact with the former Manchester United star during an interview.
He was asked: “What is the most famous person’s contact you have?” to which he boasted: “Cristiano [Ronaldo].”
The 32-year-old is a four-division world champion and widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
He recently started beef with Ronaldo’s long-term rival Lionel Messi.
The Argentine angered the boxer during his celebrations following the World Cup victory over Mexico in Qatar.
During the game the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi grabbed a goal and an assist.
But it was the celebrations in the changing room that wound up the Mexican.
In a clip, a Mexico shirt can be seen on the floor near Messi, and as the Paris Saint-Germain star goes to take his boot off, his foot brushes the jersey – which boxer Canelo found disrespectful.
The Mexican said that Messi “better pray to God that I don’t find him”.

And he tweeted: “Did you guys see Messi cleaning the floor with our jersey and flag.
“He better pray to God that I don’t find him.
“Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico!
“I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi did.”
Ronaldo is currently playing his football in Saudi Arabia after signing a lucrative contract with Al-Nassr.
