Fans are all saying the same thing about Francis Ngannou's walkout against Anthony Joshua.

They have all commented on his song choice, sharing everything on social media.

One user said: "Why has Ngannou brought the Drake curse upon himself with this walkout song?"

Another commented: "Francis Ngannou has just cursed himself having Drake as his music"

A third put: "Ngannou coming out to Drake, it's game over for him."

The reactions come after Drake announcing that he placed a bet of $600,000 (£500,000) on Francis Ngannou to emerge victorious against Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight bout.

Headlining the 'Knockout Chaos' event, the MMA fighter-turned boxer Ngannou is the heavy underdog against former two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua.

The fight came following Joshua's back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022, where the boxer lost his WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA titles.

The 34-year-old did then follow this up with three wins on the bounce against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin.

Following these victories, MMA fighter-turned-boxer Francis Ngannou stood up against him in the ring following his controversial split decision loss to Tyson Fury last December, in his first ever pro boxing match.

Drake has previously bet $850,000 (£660,000) on Logan Paul to win by knockout in his bout against Dillon Danis, and despite the influencer emerging victorious, he lost the bet as Danis was disqualified.

The Canadian artist also bet $400,000 (£311,000) on his brother Jake Paul to win by knockout against British boxer Tommy Fury, but Fury emerged victorious.

To top it all off, he last placed a bet of $700,000 (£661,000) on Sean Strickland winning his match against Dricus du Plessis, but he lost yet again.
