Davido Trolls Drake for Bet on Francis Ngannou Against Anthony Joshua

Nigerian music sensation Davido recently took to social media to poke fun at Canadian rapper Drake for his failed bet on Francis Ngannou in the highly-anticipated boxing match against Anthony Joshua.

The Bout Outcome:

Anthony Joshua emerged victorious over Francis Ngannou in their bout at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Joshua secured the win in the second round, with Ngannou being floored three times.

This win brings Joshua closer to a potential showdown with Tyson Fury.

Drake’s High-Stakes Bet:

Hours before the fight, Drake reportedly placed a hefty bet of $615,000 (£477,000) on Ngannou to defeat Joshua. The rapper stood to win a substantial $1.9 million (£1.5 million) had Ngannou caused an upset victory.

Davido’s Reaction:

Davido, known for his love of combat sports, couldn’t resist commenting on Drake’s failed bet. The Nigerian superstar mocked Drake’s track record in sports betting, implying that it leaves much to be desired.
