"college grounds," 1774, from Latin campus "flat land, field," from Proto-Italic *kampo- "field," a word of uncertain origin. De Vaan finds cognates in Greek kamp "a bending, bow, curvature," etc., if the original sense of campus was "depression, curve" (see jamb), and concludes the source in PIE *kamp- "could well be a European substratum word from agricultural terminology." First used in college sense at Princeton.
The word had been borrowed earlier by Old English as cempa. The sporting sense in reference to "first-place performer, one who has demonstrated superiority to all others in some matter decided by public contest or competition" is recorded from 1730.
Don't worry about what Urban Dictionary says. While it's true, in some cases, it's not true for everyone all the time. Those three nicknames are a little bit dated, especially Sport and Champ. I wouldn't use those two at all: your son's classmates'll change the first to "Chump" or "Chimp" and the second to "Spurt". I sometimes call my wife "Kiddo", and I sometimes call my son "Kiddo". It's okay for anyone, but not really as a nickname.
Parents call their children by all kinds of names and nicknames. All names can be used pejoratively, especially by children's peers. When I was in high school, a little word game called "mother mock" was popular. My mother's name is Katherine, "Kay" for short. When my classmates wanted to mock my mother, they'd say "Eff you see Kay, tell her I love her" = "F-U-C-K, tell her I love her". I don't remember any others.
My son's English name is William. I call him "Willie" in English to distinguish his name from mine, "Bill", and at school, some of his friends call him "Wei-Li" in Chinese, and some Taiwanese call him "William". His Chinese name is "Yi-Hong", a perfectly normal name, but he doesn't like it and thinks it sounds like a girl's name. I always called him "Di-di", Chinese for "little brother", when he was small, which is what almost all Taiwanese call their sons. Maybe you can use that nickname.
I suggest that you call your son by the name that you gave him when he was born. Names are important. If you give a kid a name and then don't use it, the kid'll wonder why. I did. If you name him "Antonio", why call him "Tony"? If you name him "Archibald", why call him "Arch"? If you don't like the full name, then give him the short name. Just make sure that any nickname you can't prevent yourself from using isn't embarrassing to him, and if he asks you to stop using it, please respect his request.
I agree with @Bill Franke's "call him by his name" point completely, and I would also second the ignore-Urban Dictionary-definitions-because-they're-sarcastic argument. However, to offer an answer to the last question, I hear "buddy" and "son" most often. Here are my impressions of the usage of those words.
"Buddy" is a good option because it, hopefully, literally describes a way you see your son. In that sense, it does not replace the boy's name the way "champ" does when it is used as a general non-descript moniker--when your son has not just become a champion. You could easily use "buddy" and the boy's name in the same breath.
"Son" could be used in the above example, but it also has an austere sensibility that I like. It defines your relationship, defines it in its simplest form, and it has a connotation of valuing the distinction between mother or father and son. As such, it can sound rarefied, and this should be considered when using it.
"Son" would be preferable to create a stern tone. "Buddy," by comparison, would not help to convey that stern of a tone. It would convey a ligher tone, as if the explanation were of something light-hearted and not something serious.
It is probably the overuse of these words on family-oriented television shows that led to their pejorative use by younger people. In a typical scene on the television show, there is a child who is not especially athletically gifted, and the father calls him champ (winner), sport (sportsmanlike athlete), slugger (home run hitter), etc., in order to build up the boy's confidence and encourage him, since the the sport is very important to the boy and he's self-conscious about it.
Children (like myself) who grew up watching these shows began to invent pejorative senses for these terms. The term when used by the younger generation may refer to a male child who is weak, sensitive, and spoiled by his parents. My friends and I in high school (in the 1990s) used terms like these to mock our classmates who were low performers in athletic activities.
I think the Urban Dictionary definitions are more likely apply when the words are used with adults. You're taking a childish nickname and applying it to an adult, so it's likely to be sarcastic, ironic, or condescending (or all three!)
The generic boy/girl nicknames I hear most are "bud/buddy" and "hon/honey", but I expect that's a regional thing. More commonly you'll find kid-specific nicknames based on their name or something like that.

Champ is made by combining mashed potatoes and chopped scallions with butter, milk and, optionally, salt and pepper.[2] It was sometimes made with stinging nettle rather than scallions.[3][4] In some areas the dish is also called "poundies".[5]
Champ is similar to another Irish dish, colcannon, which uses kale or cabbage in place of scallions. Champ is popular in Ulster, whilst colcannon is more so in the other three provinces of Ireland.[citation needed] It was customary to make champ with the first new potatoes harvested.[2]
The dish is associated with Samhain, and would be served on that night. In many parts of Ireland, it was tradition to offer a portion of champ to the fairies by placing a dish of champ with a spoon at the foot of a hawthorn.[2]
Then, to see what a historical corpus showed, I looked at COHA, which is the largest such corpus available. It showed chomp.* at six occurrences, and first appearing as late as the 1980s, and champ.* at 20 and first appearing in 1880.
Well, each of us can (and often does in practice) decide if we think a particular use of a word, phrase, etc., is wrong, but it is generally dictionaries and usage guides that are taken as objective judges of such matters.
There is also the poll at the head of this post. Interestingly, it shows that U.S. speakers are almost evenly divided about correcting chomp to champ, whereas British speakers decidedly would change it.
