Last night, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was the center of attention for sports fans and those who love a good show. At 58 years of age, Mike Tyson returned to the ring to face YouTuber Jake Paul. The age difference was the fundamental factor in making the younger man the favorite, although no one could trust 'Iron's' fists.
Despite the fact that the bookmakers were clear that the favorite for this fight was the content creator, there were those who still trusted in the punching power of one of the greatest sportsmen that boxing has ever produced. Mike Tyson's victory was paid at 2.85 euros for every euro bet. An interesting figure for all those who had predicted a victory for the renowned boxer.
One of them was Drake. The Canadian rapper was so sure that Mike Tyson was going to be the winner that he bet 336,000 euros on his victory. He shared it with all his followers on Instagram to confirm it. In case of victory of 'Iron' he would take more than 1 million euros. However, this did not happen. The victory went to Jake Paul and Drake lost nearly half a million euros.
