The Drake curse is alive and well.
On Friday afternoon, Drake bet big money on former UFC champion Francis Ngannou to beat former boxing champ Anthony Joshua.
Ahead of the fight, Drake bet over $600k on Ngannou to win, which would have netted him nearly $2 million on 3-1 odds.

Unfortunately for Drake, Joshua absolutely smoked Ngannou.
Things weren’t looking good for Ngannou when he got knocked down in the first round.

Ngannou then proceeded to get knocked out cold in the second round by a vicious right hand from Joshua.

Maybe Drake should stop betting on combat sports and invest his money instead.
