Drake is betting $850,000 on Logan Paul to win his exhibition boxing match against Dillon Danis, citing personal vendetta and settling scores as the reason behind his confidence in Paul’s victory.
This weekend, the boxing world will witness YouTube celebrity Logan Paul take on jiu-jitsu veteran Dillon Danis in an exhibition match at Misfits Boxing’s Prime Card in Manchester, England. And with this bout, Drake’s impressive streak of placing massive bets continues. The Canadian rapper, known for his love of gambling, has confidently wagered $850,000 on Paul to emerge victorious against Danis.
Drake took to Instagram to express his unwavering belief in Paul’s abilities, stating, “Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores.” However, former UFC champion Conor McGregor, known for his sharp tongue, responded to Drake’s post by openly supporting Danis, exclaiming, “Dillon all day.”
The animosity between Paul and Danis has undoubtedly heightened the stakes. Danis has relentlessly attacked Paul’s girlfriend in the weeks leading up to the event, making it a deeply personal affair. While Danis has shown promise in jiu-jitsu, he has been inactive since June 2019, when he secured a 2-0 record in MMA for Bellator.
On the other hand, Paul, who currently holds a 0-1 professional boxing record following his loss to KSI, is determined to prove himself in the ring. His most recent exhibition match was against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June 2021, where he went the distance, lasting eight rounds before the fight concluded with a decision.
With the co-main event slot, Paul and Danis are ready to showcase their skills and settle their personal grudges inside the boxing ring under the watchful eye of an eager audience in Manchester. And as the betting frenzy intensifies, Drake’s bold bet reflects his confidence in Logan Paul’s ability to triumph over Dillon Danis.
