In just a few hours, Tommy Fury and Jake Paul’s long-standing feud will culminate in one of them being crowned the winner of their highly-anticipated fight.
Weeks after Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to baby Bambi, her first child with Tommy, the former Love Island star will lock horns with the YouTuber in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, after their two previous attempts to make the clash happen failed.
The match will be watched avidly by boxing fans across the world, as well as an array of celebrities – including enthusiast Drake.
The Canadian rapper has proven so keen to get in on the action that he’s even placed a bet on the match – revealing that he’s backing the American to win.
What’s more, the amount he’s placed on his bet is eye-watering to say the least… and will lead to an extraordinary payout if his prediction for the bout turns out to be correct.
In a post shared on Instagram, the 36-year-old revealed that he placed $400,000 (£334,826) on Paul, 26, to defeat Fury, 23, in a knockout.
According to the odds, if Drake’s bet comes to pass, he’ll bag as astonishing $1.44million (£1.21m).
Several of the musician’s followers agreed with his verdict that they reckon Paul could come out on top, with one commenting: ‘Jake taking it all ????.’
‘I’m putting 10k on Thor Paul,’ someone else remarked, while another disagreed, stating: ‘Ahhh man that’s a L should have went for a draw.’
In December last year, Drake lost $1m (£837,065) after betting on Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup.
While Argentina did win, they drew with France at full time before winning on penalties, meaning that the Hotline Bling rapper couldn’t collect any winnings.
Ahead of tonight’s fight, Fury had a heartfelt video call with Hague and their baby daughter, who was born on January 23 this year.
Sharing a screenshot of the call, the Pretty Little Thing creative director wrote on Instagram: ‘Calls with dadda. Tonight is YOUR night. Get the job done and get home my boy.
‘We are so beyond proud of you. Your team forever. Let’s go!’
