Drake is used to losing a plethora of hefty UFC wagers, but now the millionaire rap artist is placing $500,000 down on Tyson Fury to knock off Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown later today (Sat., May 18, 2024) at Ring of Fire live on DAZN PPV from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Today’s heavyweight clash is one of the biggest in recent memory. It has been over 20 years since a boxer claimed the undisputed heavyweight title (Lennox Lewis circa 1999) so history will be on the line at Ring of Fire. Fury is a slight betting favorite, but boxing enthusiasts and fight fans would not be surprised if Usyk stormed into the ring and dispatched the towering Englishman to keep his own undefeated record in tact.
All eyes will be on today’s main event clash between Fury and Usyk, which has also sparked the interest of Drake. The famous artist is currently wrapped up in his own beef, but he took some time aside to place a hefty wager on Fury to defeat Usyk.
According to Drake’s official Stake betslip, he has placed a whopping $565,000 on “Gypsy King” to hand Usyk his first pro loss and leave Saudi Arabia will all four belts in tow. If Drake is correct and Fury is able to knock off Usyk, Drizzy stands to bank a grand payout of $1 million. Not too shabby for an afternoon boxing bet.
