Drake places huge bet on Ngannou-Joshua bout
Canadian rapper Drake has placed a huge bet on Francis Ngannou to cause an upset against Anthony Joshua later tonight.
Anthony Joshua faces a unique test tonight, as he boxes ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, while Ngannou has only boxed once, yet the Cameroonian shocked fans with that performance against Tyson Fury in October. Ngannou dropped the unbeaten Fury before losing a controversial decision in Riyadh, and now the 37-year-old has returned to the Saudi city for another clash with a Briton.
Betting on a scary man,” Drake wrote on his Instagram account alongside a screenshot of his bet – a $615,000 stake on Ngannou to beat Joshua.
If Drake is proven right this evening, he will pocket just under $2,000,000 in winnings.
