Popular rapper Drake lost $565,000 after betting on Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in their high-stakes match in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
The Canadian rapper, who backed ‘The Gypsy King,’ faced a disappointing outcome when Fury lost to his Ukrainian opponent by split decision.
Had Drake’s bet succeeded, it would have earned him over £800,000 in prize money.

However, Usyk’s impressive performance in Riyadh secured him the title of undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
This loss adds to Drake’s history of high-profile sports bets with mixed results.
Although he recently won a massive £3 million payday by betting on Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann in London in 2022, his luck with the bookies has been inconsistent.
