Drake is confident enough in Jake Paul to knock out Tommy Fury during tomorrow night’s fight that he bet $400,000 on the result. The Toronto rapper shared a picture of the bet slip on Instagram, Saturday night. “Knock knock,” Drake captioned the screenshot.
Saturday’s bet is far from the first gamble Drake has shared on social media. He’s promoted his bets on various sporting events through Stake on Instagram for years. By betting on the Chiefs in the most recent Super Bowl, Drake raked in over $2 million. It’s been reported that Drake has wagered over $1 billion since joining Stake in December 2021.

Drake and Paul have interacted on multiple occasions in the past. In 2021, Paul revealed on his brother Logan’s podcast that the rapper DM’d him after one of his fights. “Drake DMed me last night,” he said on the Impaulsive podcast. “[It was] one of the best moments of my life. He says, ‘You’re a demon crow, wow. How much you make for a one-minute set tonight?’” Paul also shared a picture with Drake while welcoming in the new year in 2022.
As for Jake Paul’s fight against Tommy Fury, the YouTuber turned boxer recently predicted that he’ll knock out the half-brother of Tyson Fury. Speaking with Sky Sports, Paul detailed his expectations for the match. “You can expect Fury face down on the canvas, unconscious and it’s going to happen fast. Get your popcorn but don’t blink,” Paul said. “They hate on me beating Tyron Woodley. They hate on me beating Anderson Silva, not understanding that they are both 10 times better boxers than Tommy Fury. So the critics and the sheep who believe Jake Paul hasn’t fought a real boxer, someone his age, they’re technically right and this checks that off. So that’s going to be fun to shut those people up. The kid is good but he’s not great and he’s never been in there with someone who wants it more than him.” Both Paul and Fury are currently undefeated in the ring. Their fight is scheduled for 2:00 PM, ET on Sunday. It will air live on Showtime in the U.S.
