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.

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.
