Hours before the bout, Canadian rapper Drake placed a huge bet on Francis Ngannou to defeat Joshua.

The superstar music sensation is a big fan of combat sports and he places bets on events, including mega fights.

Drake staked $615,000 (£477,000) on Ngannou to beat Joshua and would have won $1.9million (£1.5million), had Ngannu caused the major upset.

talkSPORT reports that fans of Ngannou were particularly not happy to hear about this bet.

Drake's track record for sports betting is not great, to say the least, and Davido has reacted.

The 'Damiduro' crooner wrote: "Your ticket don cut", and then added a laughing emoji.

AJ demonstrated his formidable skills by scoring three knockdowns and sending the former UFC heavyweight champion into slumber within two rounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Although 'The Predator' had previously pushed WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury to the edge of defeat last October, he couldn't match Joshua's prowess at the Kingdom Arena.

Ngannou apologises to his fans

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cameroonian boxer Francis Ngannou apologised to his fans after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in their fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The former UFC champion faced Joshua in his second professional boxing match after debuting in the sport against WBC heavyweight titleholder Tyson Fury last October.

Ngannou took to his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) to apologise to his fans for his awful performance in his fight against Joshua.
