Canelo Alvarez has outlined how much longer he could remain in the sport, before hanging up his gloves and calling time on a decorated career.

The 35-year-old is already destined for a place in the Hall of Fame, having become a four-division world champion, but remains eager to compete at the highest level.

Since making his professional debut in 2005, the Mexican has amassed 68 outings and become a two-time undisputed king at 168lbs, claiming notable victories over the likes of Callum Smith and Caleb Plant.

His most significant win, however, arrived at middleweight, where Alvarez edged a highly-contentious majority decision in his 2018 rematch with Gennady Golovkin.

More controversial was their first encounter, the previous year, when many believed that Golovkin had done enough to claim a convincing victory, only for the Kazakh to instead come away with a draw.

But still, Canelo received ample credit for emerging triumphant in their sequel, before dethroning Sergey Kovalev for the WBO light-heavyweight title over a year later.

Alvarez’s second undisputed title reign at super-middleweight then came to an end last September, with Terence Crawford moving up two weight divisions to claim a unanimous decision victory.

But despite this, Canelo has explained to Froch On Fighting that he could still compete for another two years, or perhaps even longer, depending on how frequently his opportunities materialise.

“I don’t know. I’m thinking maybe two years. I don’t need it, [but] I still enjoy it. If I [fight] once a year, maybe [I can go on] a little bit [longer].

“Once a year, for me to rest my body, I think I can fight more [than two years].”

While an official announcement is yet to emerge, Canelo is set to fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this September, with Turki Alalshikh having promised a world title shot.

The final day of the college basketball regular season Sunday will be headlined by a heavyweight rivalry matchup between No. 8 Michigan State and No. 3 Michigan on CBS. This is a rematch of an earlier season matchup won by Michigan on the road, which allowed the Wolverines to take firm control of the Big Ten title race.

Michigan is coming off an upset scare against Iowa earlier in the week. The Wolverines ultimately walked away with a 71-68 win on the road. Since losing to Duke last month on a neutral court, Michigan has won three straight games ahead of its matchup against MSU. Michigan also wrapped up the Big Ten regular season title after beating Illinois.

Michigan State has won five consecutive games since losing to Wisconsin by 21 points on the road last month. MSU has wins during that stretch over UCLA, Purdue and Indiana. Michigan State is in second place in the Big Ten standings entering the weekend and could be on a collision course to face Michigan a third time in next weekend’s Big Ten title game if both teams run the table.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of Michigan’s matchup against Michigan State.

Michigan vs. Michigan State: Need to know

Michigan’s dominance in Big Ten play: Michigan is 18-1 in Big Ten play this season, with the lone loss coming against Wisconsin earlier this season. The Wolverines already set the program record (previously 16) for the most wins in conference play in a season. A win over MSU would make it 19 wins with just one loss. The Wolverines are riding a 14-game winning streak against Big Ten teams and had won eight straight of those games by at least 10 points before it was snapped earlier this week.

Jeremy Fears Jr. chasing MSU history: Fears enters this weekend with 272 assists this season. That is two behind Mateen Cleaves for the second-most assists in a single season in MSU program history. Cassius Winston, one of the best players in MSU program history, holds the record with 291. Fears is averaging 9.1 assists, which leads all Division I players — and has a chance to break the record, depending on how far the Spartans go in both the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament

Bracketology implications: Michigan is in the driver’s seat to be a No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday next weekend. It doesn’t matter how the remainder of the season shakes out because the Wolverines will likely join Duke and Arizona on the No. 1 line. In CBS Sports’ latest Bracketology projections, Michigan State is a No. 2 seed. MSU having a strong showing in the Big Ten Tournament next week would go a long way toward remaining on the No. 2 line.

Michigan vs. Michigan State prediction, pick

Michigan State made things interesting in the second half of the first matchup against Michigan before the Wolverines pulled away at the end. Yaxel Lendeborg had a strong showing in the first matchup (26 points and 12 rebounds). I expect Lendeborg to once again play well against MSU’s stout frontline. Michigan wins this game by double digits, just like the first game. Pick: Michigan -9

When Trump first announced plans for the UFC to host a show at the White House, although an ambitious idea, it did not come as a surprise.

White has a long-standing friendship with Trump, who held some of the early UFC shows at one of his old properties, the Trump Taj Mahal, in 2001.

The friendship blossomed, with Trump appearing as a guest at numerous UFC shows, where he is the guest of honour with his own walk-out moment.

The friendship is compounded by White’s public endorsement of the president, and he became a key ally during the 2024 election campaign.

It is here where the lines between sport and politics blur, with the UFC – through the voice of White, who acts as the promotion’s mouthpiece – providing a platform for Trump’s politics.

Trump benefits by aligning himself with the UFC, which is embedded in themes like patriotism, toughness and machoism, because it leans into the image many of his political fans arguably support.

The UFC benefits from the relationship by reaching audiences through Trump’s global public platform when he attends shows and publicly endorses fighters, such as Colby Covington and Jon Jones.

Trump’s government also provide a powerful ally as the UFC seeks to tighten its grip on MMA in the US and be given the same opportunity in boxing.

The UFC has faced challenges to its business practices, paying out £281m in a 2025 lawsuit and facing two more from former fighters.

As Trump fronts the US-Israeli strikes in Iran and his approval rating at home falls, UFC White House may be a welcome distraction – and boost – for Trump on his birthday.

The show is not just an ambitious project. It is designed to be the cork-popping moment for Trump’s political relationship with White and the UFC.

Team USA has steamrolled the competition so far in the World Baseball Classic.

Nate Eaton homered on Tarik Skubal’s first pitch to give Britain a quick lead it held until the fifth inning, but his teammates couldn’t muster anything else at the plate.

U.S. hitters had managed just one single when Ernie Clement reached on an error by third baseman Ivan Johnson to start the fifth. Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled before Clement scored on a wild pitch by Andre Scrubb to tie it at 1.

Schwarber followed with a 427-foot drive that landed near the back of the second deck in right field to put the United States on top 3-1.

There were two outs in the inning when Henderson’s two-run single made it 5-1.

Aaron Judge, who homered in Friday night’s win over Brazil, knocked out a panel on the metal scoreboard with a 109.6 mph RBI single in a three-run sixth that pushed it to 8-1.

Russell’s pole position – 0.8 seconds clear of the fastest non-Mercedes car – had sent shockwaves through the paddock on Saturday but the race was initially much closer than qualifying.

Both Ferrari drivers made their expected electric starts, and Leclerc vaulted from fourth on the grid to take the lead at the first corner.

Russell powered past the Ferrari on lap two between Turns 10 and 11 by using extra electrical energy.

But Leclerc was not to go down without a fight and drove past the Mercedes in a similar fashion on the run to Turn Nine on lap three.

Russell tracked Leclerc closely, challenging him into Turn One on lap nine only for the Ferrari driver to fend him off and leave Russell to fight to retain his position from Hamilton, who made it a three-car train in the lead.

Antonelli, who had dropped back to seventh at the start, then joined them to make it four cars in the leading group after 10 laps, and they circulated together until Isack Hadjar’s Red Bull retired on lap 12.

The Frenchman, who had been running fifth, pulled off on the back straight, bringing out the virtual safety car, usually the trigger for teams to pit and benefit from the reduced time loss compared with pitting under racing conditions.

But while Russell and Antonelli pitted, Leclerc and Hamilton did not. Hamilton immediately questioned the call, saying over the radio: “At least one of us should have pitted.”

Instead, they ran long, sticking to their pre-race plan of a one-stop strategy.

By the time Leclerc pitted on lap 25, Russell was only five seconds off the lead, and the Ferrari emerged 14 seconds behind.

On fresher tyres, Leclerc might have been expected to narrow the gap to Russell, but he did not, and the fight at the front was over.

ORLANDO — For a lot of us, golf is a night game. This website is owned by a company called 8AM GOLF and that’s a lovely image right there, on the first tee at 8 in the morn, birds singing, coffee kicking in, all that promise ahead. But what about the other side of the day, especially now with the extra hour of dusk light? What about nightfall golf? My press-tent pal Bill Fields has a new book called A Quick Nine Before Dark. Exactly.

When play resumed Saturday afternoon after an hour-long rain delay, here in the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, Collin Morikawa and his caddie, Mark Urbanek, found themselves doing some math. When they made the turn, they realized they had two hours of daylight left, if that, on a hard course that doesn’t lend itself to quick play. The good news was that Morikawa’s playing partner was Rickie Fowler, one of the fastest players on Tour. They were the last group to get in, to finish their third round.

Morikawa is at nine under par, with Cam Young and Sepp Straka. They have played 54 holes in this Signature event and will all be able to sleep in Sunday morning. The two players ahead of them, Akshay Bhatia (11 under) and Daniel Berger (13 under) will be on the course at 8 a.m. Sunday, when play resumes. Sunday will be a long day’s journey into night for those two. Less so for the other chasers.

Morikawa was asked if he liked playing dusk golf, particularly as a kid.

“I think those days, when you were out there for a long time, you got a lot out of it,” he said. “Not just practicing, but having fun. You’re probably out there with some buddies, screwing around, getting in a couple more chips, a couple more putts, just to get it out of the system.”

Turns out, that’s good practice for contending in PGA Tour events, too.

Fowler and Morikawa holed out on 18 around 6:35 p.m., then walked through a dark tunnel under a grandstand. They crossed a road on their way to scoring and ended their workday, or nearly did. All that was left was to sign autographs, which Morikawa did at hyper-speed. Fowler signed at a languid pace, chatting up kids, posing for snaps, all in a manner that would have made Arnold Palmer proud. Morikawa had borrowed a Sharpie from Fowler and when he was done with it returned it to its original place, in Fowler’s back left pocket. They bade each other good night, in a manner of speaking.

Later, dude.

Yeah.

Something like that. The kids were still calling for Rickie by name.

NFL free agency starts in two days with “legal tampering,” and the Minnesota Vikings will embark on the process with interim general manager Rob Brzezinski in charge. Head coach Kevin O’Connell and defensive coordinator Brian Flores are expected to have heavy input on personnel, and here’s what folks know in the way of clues.

Minnesota’s next wave of moves is starting to come into focus.

The Vikings began the offseason severely over the cap, so free agency might be a bit different this time.

Several Early Signs Reveal Where the Vikings Could Pivot

March is here, and the Vikings’ roster is about to change.

1. Don’t Expect Splashy, Expensive Signings

For the 2026 Vikings, what you see on the roster in very early March might be what you get, for the most part.

Brzezinski said to ESPN this week: “We’ve spent a lot of money the last two years in free agency. And so our goal is going to be to keep our core in place, and that’s going to involve making some difficult decisions on some players, which you deal with on a daily basis.”

“But I think for the most part, our goal is going to be to draft and develop and to retain our core, and supplement with free agency. It just makes logical sense that that bill’s coming due. We do have to navigate it, and navigate it responsibly.”

That sounds like a man who’s been giving a directive to “take it easy” with the spending. The Vikings had their shots at fanciful splurges in the 2024 and 2025 free-agency periods; now is the time to be quieter.

2. A Collaborative Decision-Making Approach

Brzezinski was at the NFL Combine last month, and predictably, local media asked him about the confusing power structure. He replied, “We have to have protocol in place, and so the owners have asked me to handle that responsibility if that would occur. But our intent is to have complete and total collaboration, and I think the decisions are going to be pretty easy to make.”

“It’s an awesome responsibility. I’ve been here a long time. I know what this franchise means to our fans, and I just want to be a small part of one day delivering that championship.”

This sounds fabulous — in theory. All parties must work together in union and with cordiality. We shall see if that rings true.

Most expect O’Connell to have final say on offensive players, with Brian Flores pressing the button on defenders. Perhaps Brzezinski is the referee.

When you see “O’Connell guys” signed and “Flores guys” walk through that door, know that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is no longer in the way.

3. A New QB Is Coming

After the regular season ended, O’Connell chatted with reporters for the 2025 autopsy press conference, and right away, they asked him about the 2026 quarterback strategy:

O’Connell declared, “Ultimately, I think in the quarterback room, it’s about having just the deepest, most talented room you possibly can, every single year. What that looks like at a pretty impactful position on your salary cap, when you’re able to possibly plan for your depth chart looking in a way where you can be competitive no matter what.”

“I think there has to be competition at quarterback. I think that’s what’s gonna make everybody better in that room. It’s gonna be what makes our entire offense thrive through that competition.”

This was new lingo. Last offseason, the Vikings cleared the forest for J.J. McCarthy to walk through it by himself as the uncontested QB1. That won’t happen again.

Kyler Murray is probably on the way to the Vikings — or Geno Smith or Aaron Rodgers if Murray picks a different team.

It won’t be McCarthy-or-bust again.

4. Two Big Trade Pieces — in Theory

Most don’t believe McCarthy will be traded; it’s too early for that. However, the Vikings allowed Jonathan Greenard’s status to go public this week, a report saying the club would be open to trading him if it can’t find the money in the budget for his extension. Somewhat realistically, Greenard could be traded next week or anytime, really, before the draft.

Meanwhile, due to Jordan Addison’s repeated and relentless shenanigans, there’s a small chance that Minnesota could trade him elsewhere for a 2nd- or 3rd-Round pick. Greenard is more likely to leave than Addison, but the fact that two of the team’s 10 best players are gettable via trade is rare and noteworthy.

Minnesota has until May 1st to lock in Addison’s fifth-year option. They’ll probably do it, but it would be ultra-telling if they do not.
