Drake, the globally recognized hip-hop star, made headlines again, but not for his music.

This time, it was his massive $355,000 pre-fight bet on Mike Tyson that drew attention.

The rap icon was confident Tyson, a boxing legend, would take down YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in their much-anticipated showdown.

Jake Paul Takes the Win

Despite Tyson’s legendary reputation, the fight didn’t go as Drake hoped.

Jake Paul, 27, dominated the match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

All three judges delivered a unanimous decision in Paul’s favor, with scores of 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73.

The result left Drake and many fans shocked, though others commended Tyson for his resilience against an opponent three decades his junior.

Tyson’s Effort Draws Praise

While Tyson didn’t secure the win, his performance against a much younger and physically agile opponent earned him widespread admiration.

Many fans took to social media to celebrate Tyson’s spirit and determination, noting his remarkable ability to hold his own in the ring at his age.

Drake’s love for high-stakes betting is no secret, but it often doesn’t work in his favor.

This isn’t the first time the “One Dance” rapper has lost a significant wager.

Back in August, he bet $450,000 against South African MMA fighter Dricus Du Plessis, who went on to upset former UFC champion Israel Adesanya.

Drake’s knack for placing massive bets on combat sports continues to draw attention, win or lose.

While his recent wagers haven’t panned out, fans are left wondering if he’ll rethink his strategy—or double down on his gambling streak.

Either way, his bets remain as entertaining as the events themselves.
