Drake slaps $250K bet on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul in Dallas boxing match: ‘I can never bet against a Diaz brother’

Canadian rapper and R&B artist, Drake, has slapped a cool $250,000 bet on former UFC welterweight contender, Nate Diaz ahead of his professional boxing debut tonight in Dallas, Texas – as he takes on 6-1 puncher, Jake Paul over the course of 10 rounds.

Making his professional boxing debut tonight in ‘The Lone Star State’, Diaz is scheduled to headline a card at the American Airlines Center, taking on Ohio native, Paul – after a climactic build up to their middleweight pairing during Thursday’s press conference, and Friday’s official weigh-ins – which included Diaz throwing a kick at Paul.
