Drake’s gambling addiction has been making headlines lately, with the rapper losing big on his recent bets. In a recent bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, Drake placed a bet of $565,000 on Fury, only to see Usyk emerge as the victor in a split-decision thriller. This loss cost Drake over half a million dollars.
This is not the first time Drake has lost big on bets. He previously lost $400,000 on Jake Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury and $1 million on Argentina winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Despite these losses, Drake continues to place high-stakes bets on major sporting events.
Usyk’s victory over Fury brings his career record to an impressive 22-0. As a former Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion, Usyk now holds Undisputed Championship status in multiple weight classes, joining the ranks of elite boxers like Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue.
