Tommy Fury won the prestige fight against Jake Paul on Sunday night. However, the American boxer was not the only loser of the evening, because after the match, rapper Drake was $ 400,000 lighter after a lost bet. With that, ‘Drake’s curse’ takes place again.
Jake Paul is the latest victim of the infamous ‘Drake Curse’. After all, there seems to be a curse on the rapper, who has often brought bad luck to athletes in the past by betting on them or taking a picture with them. There are now plenty of examples.
In 2019, for example, Drake posed for a photo with Sergio Agüero after the Argentine missed a crucial penalty in the Champions League and Charles Leclerc retired from last year’s Spanish Grand Prix with engine trouble after Drake bet hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Ferrari win. driver. It must be said that Lionel Messi managed to break the infamous curse in December last year with a win over France in the final of the World Cup.

Tyson Fury and Drake both lose money
But now there’s Jake Paul. Drake expected Paul to win by knockout and bet $400,000 on that. He could make $1,440,000, but that didn’t happen. Fury was declared the winner by the judges and Drake lost his money, much to Tyson Fury’s amusement. Tommy’s half-brother, and world heavyweight boxing champion, couldn’t resist reminding Drake of that afterwards.
It looks like Drake lost his money. $ 400,000 flushed down the toilet,” laughs Tyson Fury. “But I’ll tell you a secret: I lost my money too. I bet on a knockout (from Tommy, ed.), so we’re both losers .”
Jake Paul also received a question about Drake’s lost bet at his press conference after his lost game. “F*ck, this is Drake’s fault. Bro, why did you do this to me?” he joked. “No, this was just my own mistake. And $400,000 is nothing for him.” The Canadian’s assets are estimated at around 190 million euros.
