Drake‘s losses are coming fast and furious: the controversial rapper/sports gambler has shelled out more than half a million for Tyson Fury to win his boxing match… and he didn’t.
It’s debatable who is hurting more this morning…Drake or Tyson, after the boxer lost Oleksandr Usyk by a split decision Saturday night in Saudi Arabia. Before the fight, Drake placed his $565,000 bet in support of Tyson, and IF he had won…Drake would have won $1 million.
Shoulda Woulda Coulda… The huge financial hit has fans buzzing about the old “Drake curse” in the sports world.
He has previously lost a six-figure sum Anthony Joshua was right Francis Ngannouanother $700K after that Dricus du Plessis defeat Sean Strickland at UFC 297, $550,000 further Israel Adesanya‘s loss to Strickland… and $890,000 bets Logan Paul would knock me out Dillon Danis.
Usyk is now the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in 24 years – he already held the WBA, IBF and WBO titles, and he added to Fury’s WBC belt with the win. Impressive for the Ukrainian champion, painful for Drake.
Of course, the gambling ‘L’ comes immediately on the heels of his biggest professional ‘L’ – the beef with Kendrick Lamar. After both artists released a flurry of diss tracks two weeks ago… the dust has settled and fans and industry heads almost unanimously declared Kendrick the winner.
While the lyrical feud has been put to rest, Drake has been dealing with the fallout at his Toronto mansion… guard was shot in the chestand several offenders have been arrested.
