Canadian rapper Drake has suffered another significant gambling loss, this time a staggering $565,000 after betting on Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk.

Ahead of the highly anticipated fight, Drake took to Instagram to reveal his hefty wager on Fury. Had Fury emerged victorious, Drake stood to collect over $1 million.

However, in a shocking turn of events, Usyk triumphed by split decision in Saudi Arabia, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in 24 years.

Usyk's victory saw him add Fury’s WBC title to his already impressive collection of WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.

See excerpt of the fight below:

Tyson Fury after his loss to Usyk, said: “His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. I believe I won that fight.”

This loss marks yet another setback for Drake in the world of high-stakes betting. He previously lost a six-figure sum after Anthony Joshua's knockout win over Francis Ngannou, and another $700,000 following Dricus Du Plessis' victory over Sean Strickland at UFC 297.

Drake's latest gambling misfortune underscores the unpredictable nature of betting, even for the world's biggest stars.
