Canadian rapper Drake lost $565,000 after betting on Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk, marking another significant gambling setback for him.
Before the fight, Drake had posted on Instagram that he wagered $565,000 on Fury, hoping to win just over $1 million.
However, Usyk claimed victory over Fury by split decision in Saudi Arabia, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in 24 years.
Usyk now holds Fury’s WBC title along with his own WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.
This loss adds to Drake’s previous gambling misfortunes, including a six-figure sum on Anthony Joshua’s knockout against Francis Ngannou and $700,000 on Dricus Du Plessis’ win over Sean Strickland at UFC 297.
