manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Rapper Drake has put on a jaw-dropping bet with Stake ahead of the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight in Saudi Arabia. The pair are set to go face-to-face in the ring after two years of back and forth over social media on Sunday (February 26).

The long awaited fight even caught the attention of the international music star, who revealed via an Instagram post that he had placed $400,000 (£335,000) on Jake Paul to knockout Manchester's Tommy Fury, writing 'Knock Knock' beneath the post.

Should Fury be beaten, the rapper will see an eye watering $1,440,000 (£1.2m) land in his account as a result. The fight will be taking place at the third attempt following two cancelled bouts.
