World famous rapper Drake has placed an insane bet on Logan Paul's highly anticipated fight against Dillon Danis.
After months of back and forth, the MMA fighter and Youtuber-turned-boxer will finally be able to settle their differences on the ring on the same card as Tommy Fury's fight against KSI on Saturday.
There were doubts over whether the fight would go ahead after Danis' outburst during their final press conference, where the 30-year-old threw a microphone at Paul's head, drawing blood from his opponent.

Danis then falsely accused the social media sensation of not making weight on Friday morning, with Paul subsequently posting a video proving otherwise.
Meanwhile, Drake, who is no stranger to a sports bet, has backed Paul to knockout Danis.
The 36-year-old could take home around £1.1million ($1.3million) if his £696,000 ($850,000) wager does come in.

Posting a screenshot of his bet on Instagram, Drake wrote: "Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores," accompanied by a crying laughing face.
The Canadian previously placed a whopping $400,000 bet on Logan's brother, Jake, to defeat Tommy Fury back in February.
Drake was left with egg on his face that day, when Fury got the better of his opponent via a majority decision.

However, he hasn't let that get in the way of his next bet, and is sticking with the family name to get a result over Danis, who was not best pleased with Drake's decision.
Reposting the image of the rapper's bet on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Danis wrote: "850 on my head is disrespect," alongside a previous photo of the pair.
Logan, meanwhile, replied to a tweet confirming Drake's bet, tweeting: "Easy money."
