Former NBA player Stephen Jackson stirred up some drama at Canelo Alvarez’s recent Las Vegas fight.

In a video circulating online, Jackson can be seen engaged in an exchange with arena security concerning Alvarez’s family. The incident occurred after Alvarez won his super middleweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Jermell Charlo, a record 3rd time.
