Bookies are already taking bets on what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will name their baby.

On Monday morning Kensington Palace confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting.

The names Diana, Alice and Arthur are the of favourites for a name, all at 12/1 odds.

Edward and Elizabeth are the second favourites at 16/1 and James tipped at 18/1.

Boxer Canelo Alvarez just signed the richest deal in sports history.

It’s a five-year, 11-fight contract with a streaming platform called DAZN, and it’s worth $365 MILLION.

The previous record holder was Giancarlo Stanton of the New York Yankees. In 2014, when he was still with the Miami Marlins, he signed a 13-year deal worth $325 million.

He’s got a record of 50 wins, one loss, and two draws. That loss came at the hands of FLOYD MAYWEATHER in 2013, and Canelo says he wants a rematch.

New York City went all of last weekend without any murders.

It’s the first time a Friday-Sunday period didn’t see any murders since 1993.

The NYPD has reported a citywide drop in gun violence in 2018. As of last weekend, 734 people in the city had been shot, according to NYPD data. That’s a drop of about 3 percent from the same time last year, when 753 people had been shot.

This past weekend #NYC had no shootings, a milestone we haven’t reached in over a decade. My thanks to every member of the #NYPD for working hard to protect this city and to every member of the public who has helped us make this city so safe.

Welch’s juice sales have dropped more than 5% over the past year. They needed a change.

Their new ad campaign is aimed at men, called Tough as Grapes.

One new ad is a hulking metal machine that pulverizes grapes into smithereens. Another darkly-lit spot says the juice contains “the world’s toughest antioxidants” by showing a man whose face is splattered in juice.

The key to an efficient work environment, is to keep the job titles simple. pic.twitter.com/S1OrymvlEy
