Canadian musician Aubrey Drake Graham, known by his stage name Drake, has placed a large bet on one of the participants in the title fight between Brit Tyson Fury and Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. The rapper announced this on his social media.

Drake has wagered $565,000 on WBC world champion Tyson Fury's victory. If the Brit wins, the musician will receive $1 million.

Drake's bets are notorious for their inaccuracy. On social media, he is dubbed the "curse" – a bettor who dooms the team he bets on to lose. The most recent example is Drake's lost bet on Ngannou's victory against Joshua in March of this year.

Tyson Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk on the night of May 19 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The winner of this bout will become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

The 35-year-old Fury has 34 victories and one draw in his career. The 37-year-old Usyk, who holds titles under the IBO, IBF, WBO, and WBA, has won all of his 21 fights.
