David Benavidez: ‘I’m not going to be waiting on Canelo’

David Benavidez sat on the ring apron at the downtown BOXR Gym and wrapped his hands — just because the Canelo Alvarez fight he has pushed so hard to land seems farther away than ever, it doesn’t mean the work stops. Alvarez has long stated Benavidez (and other fighters) must earn a shot at boxing’s top star, and there’s no doubt following his breakthrough campaign last year that Benavidez did exactly that. He brutalized Caleb Plant in a March decision victory and followed with a sixth-round TKO triumph over Demetrius Andrade in November. The calls for an Alvarez-Benavidez matchup for […]

Athletic Club beat Atletico Madrid to reach Copa del Rey final

Brothers Inaki and Nico Williams scored to help Athletic Bilbao secure a 3-0 semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid on Thursday and a 4-0 aggregate victory that sent the Basque side into their third Copa de Rey final in the last five years. Ernesto Valverde’s team punished the visitors with clinical counter-attacks, starting when Inaki Williams struck in the 13th minute with a superb volley from his brother’s cross. Inaki returned the favor to his younger sibling in the 42nd minute, setting up Nico for a simple close-range finish. “Our connection is real and it’s working very well, we understand each other,” Nico Williams told […]

Marta Kostyuk makes San Diego Open quarters in straight sets

Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, Daria Saville of Australia and Katie Boulter of England advanced to the quarterfinals of the Cymbiotika San Diego Open on Wednesday. Kostyuk continues to build on the form that saw her reach her first major quarterfinal last month at the Australian Open. The sixth seed knocked off the last remaining wild card by beating 18-year-old Taylah Preston of Australia, 6-4, 6-3. For Kostyuk, 21, it was almost like facing a mirror image of herself. “I was playing her for the very first time. She’s still very young. She reminds me a little bit of me,” said Kostyuk, who finished with 25 winners to […]

Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto impresses in Cactus League debut

Even Shohei Ohtani was intrigued by Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s exhibition debut Wednesday, making the 30-minute drive through Phoenix suburbs in a white convertible to show his support for a fellow Japanese star, even though he wasn’t playing in the game. Yamamoto put on quite a show. The 25-year-old struck out three batters over two scoreless innings versus the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers, giving a glimpse into why the Los Angeles Dodgers believe the right-hander can become a big league ace. “I was just trying to do my job, trying to stay calm and focus on what I have to do,” Yamamoto said through an […]

Saudi Arabia’s PIF, ATP tour agree to five-year sponsorship

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and the men’s professional tennis tour have agreed to a five-year partnership that involves naming rights for the ATP rankings, the latest move by the kingdom into that sport and others.

The arrangement revealed Wednesday includes courtside branding for the PIF at the season-ending ATP Finals and tournaments in Indian Wells, California; Miami, Madrid and Beijing. Pepperstone had sponsored the ATP rankings since 2022. ATP chief executive […]

Chris Paul steadies Warriors in return, keys win off bench

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul pointed twice during a possession late in the third quarter of Tuesday’s victory over the Washington Wizards, directing his teammates where to go. In response, Klay Thompson slowly walked to the left side of the 3-point arc while Jonathan Kuminga quickly came in to set a screen. As the defenders came off the screen, they both stuck with Thompson on the perimeter, leaving a wide-open lane for Kuminga. Paul lobbed the ball up for the third-year forward, who completed the alley-oop. “That’s what Chris does,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He gets you organized, he gets you good looks. All season long, […]

Tour rookie Jake Knapp wins Mexico Open despite driver woes

PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp lost a four-shot lead in seven holes and then held it together with a remarkable short game Sunday, closing with an even-par 71 to earn the Mexico Open at Vidanta and earn a trip to the Masters. Knapp stated he still sends a text after each round to his grandfather, who died last year, and this message might require a lot of detail. He didn’t hit a fairway until the eighth hole and found only two the entire round — the fewest in the final round of a PGA Tour win in the past 40 years, according […]

Haaland warning after 5-goal haul: ‘We’re ready to attack’

Erling Haaland sent a warning to Manchester City’s rivals after scoring five goals in their 6-2 FA Cup rout of Luton Town on Tuesday, saying he was back to his best and that “we’re ready to attack.” Haaland had scored only three goals in seven appearances since making his comeback from a foot injury that ruled him out for more than a month between December and January. But the Norwegian striker looked back to his prolific peak at Kenilworth Road with a first-half hat trick and two more after the break as City cruised into the FA Cup quarterfinals. In doing so, Haaland became the first […]

Hamilton: Childhood Ferrari dream stems from Schumacher

Lewis Hamilton has stated his desire to drive for Ferrari dates back to his childhood, when he used to play Formula One video games as Michael Schumacher. Hamilton shocked the F1 world at the start of this month when it was revealed that he would leave his Mercedes contract a year early to drive for Ferrari in 2025. Ferrari has not won a drivers’ championship since Kimi Raikkonen defeated Hamilton to the title in 2007, and its last period of sustained success was with Schumacher between 2000 and 2004. In an Instagram post earlier this month, Hamilton said it was a “childhood dream” to […]

Dodgers trade Manuel Margot to Twins, add Kiké Hernández

The Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday traded outfielder Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins and agreed to terms with super utility man Kiké Hernández on a one-year, $4 million deal. After shopping Margot, 29, in recent days, the Dodgers struck a deal to send the Twins the outfielder and shortstop prospect Rayne Doncon for shortstop prospect Noah Miller.
