The Canadian hip-hop star Drake has a history of making massive bets, and he’s doing it once more with Paul as the subject of another sizable wager.
He’s putting $850,000 on Logan Paul to win his boxing exhibition match against Dillon Danis in Manchester, England. This fight is part of the Prime Card event, with Drake showing his confidence in Paul by betting on him to finish the match.
Rapper Drake Bets Big on Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis Showdown
“Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores,” Drake wrote on Instagram.
“Dillon all day,” former UFC champion Conor McGregor replied in the comments.
At the last press conference, Paul and Danis had a big argument and tried to stand face to face. But things got out of hand when Logan Paul threw a bottle at Danis, and in return, Danis hit him with a microphone, causing a cut on Paul’s face.
However, Paul said the fight was still happening and hinted that things had gotten more intense. He’s really determined to fight Danis.
Danis, who has no boxing experience, made things personal by going after Paul’s girlfriend in the weeks leading up to the match. He was once seen as a promising jiu-jitsu player but hasn’t been active since June 2019 when he reached a 2-0 MMA record with Bellator.
Paul, on the other hand, had one professional boxing match and lost to KSI. His last time in the ring was for an exhibition match with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June 2021, which went the distance over eight rounds.
