Drake places £700k bet on outcome of Logan Paul v Dillon Danis fight

Will the Drake curse strike again?

Paul will face off against Danis on Saturday night as part of Misfits Boxing's card, in which the pair are part of the co-main event which also features KSI against Tommy Fury.

The Canadian rapper is no stranger to placing a bet on major sporting events and has decided to put his money where his mouth is by putting the money on a Paul victory.

If it comes off, the 36-year-old will pocket £1.1m ($1.3m) from his £696,000 ($850,000) bet.

Saturday's fight has had plenty of controversy in the build up, with Danis striking Paul in the face with a microphone during their final press conference.

Danis also claimed that Paul had failed to make the weight for their bout, leading to Jake Paul confirming that he would take his brother's place in the ring if he needed to.

Jake said: "I will always have my brother’s back. I chose not to respond to the puppet’s countless tweets as it would only amplify his harassment. But make no mistake, if Logan needed me to step in, I would take great joy in knocking that maggot out. See you soon."

He also hit out at the rapper for betting on him to lose, posting a picture of the two together on X and saying: "850 on my head is disrespect."
