Boxing fans worried for one fighter as Drake bets $355k on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

Boxing fans worried for one fighter as Drake bets $355k on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

Boxing fans have immediately become concerned about one fighter after seeing Drake's huge bet on the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight on Netflix.

Tyson takes on Paul in the main event of Netflix's first live boxing card from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The prelims have already been completed, with the main card having gotten underway at 1am UK time.

It will be around 4am when we see Tyson and Paul's ring walks, although as with all major boxing events, that scheduled time will be flexible depending on other bouts.

Unsurprisingly, Drake has placed a bet well into six figures on the outcome of the main event - and it's got fans nervous about one fighter's chances.

The Canadian rapper and singer often wagers huge amounts of money on major events, with his seemingly low success rate coining the phrase the 'Drake curse'.

The 36-year-old has history as far as Jake Paul is concerned. He placed a bet of $1.2 million for him to win via knockout against Tommy Fury, only for the latter to win via split decision instead.

This time around, Drake has gone for a lower sum - and placed a bet of $355,000 on Tyson to beat Paul inside the AT&T Stadium.

Rather than predicting the method of victory, Drake has gone for a straight win for 'Iron Mike', who is stepping into the ring for the first time as a professional since 2005.

Should the bet come in, Drake would scoop $1.01 million - with Tyson fans certainly hoping for a positive outcome.

Tyson and Drake have previously met, with the 58-year-old even once singing his hit record 'Cellphone' while live on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

But the Canadian has met Paul, too, and 'El Gato' apologised to Drake after losing his fight against Fury by split decision last year and costing him his bet.
