Canadian star Drake is mostly known for his groundbreaking music however recently but lately, he’s gained attention for making big bets on athletes, which seem to bring bad luck. This trend continued last night.
This time it was former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou who suffered from the ‘Drake curse’ as he was knocked out in the second round by British boxer Anthony Joshua in their much anticipated bout.
The rapper bet $600,000 on Francis Ngannou to win the fight with a potential payout of approximately $1,900,500, however this bet was ultimately in vain due to the spectacular knockout produced by Anthony Joshua.
Prior to this loss, Francis Ngannou took the boxing world by storm with his first fight in boxing being a debatable and controversial loss by decision to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury however it is clear to see that he needs to work more on his boxing skills to conquer the heavyweight boxing division as he did with UFC heavyweight division.
Drake once placed a wager of $850,000 on Logan Paul to secure a knockout victory over Dillon Danis. Despite Paul winning, Drake lost the bet due to Danis being disqualified. Additionally, he bet $400,000 on his brother Jake Paul to win via knockout against British boxer Tommy Fury, but Fury ultimately triumphed.
