Drake, the well-known Canadian rapper, recently stunned his fans by posting a series of videos on social media showing him doing pad work. While the Grammy-winning performer is frequently seen at big sporting events, it is rare to see him actively participate in them. Drake is well-known for his love of sports betting, regularly putting large bets on sports like MMA, boxing, and the NFL. Fans, on the opposite, got to watch him in action this time. Unfortunately, they were not impressed by his boxing skills. The hip-hop artist uploaded the videos on his official Instagram account. Later, they were reposted by MMA pages on various social media platforms.

Unfortunately, the training footage received a barrage of negative comments and reactions from disappointed fans. They even used Shaquille O’Neal and Floyd Mayweather’s references to troll Drake.

Fans react to Drake showing off boxing skills

The Canadian millionaire can be seen performing multiple boxing combos in the footage. There’s another video of Drake letting loose on the pads. Although the rapper appears to be swift and powerful, viewers were quick to point out flaws in his technique.

Check out some reactions from fans below:

 

One fan pointed out Drake’s partner is holding the pad too high. He sarcastically asked if the rapper was preparing to fight NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal. He wrote, “Bro why the pads a foot above your head who you training for? Shaq?”

 

Another fan said that the Canadian rapper is trying to be like legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather. He wrote: “bro thinks he’s Mayweather”

A fan trolled the rapper and compared him with a 12-year-old kid. He said, “I think now he’s ready to fight my 12 years old nephew.”

One fan rated Drake’s boxing skills too low and jibed at him by saying, “0.2 my mums got better hands.”

Drake’s recent UFC bet

As aforementioned, Drake does a ton of UFC bettings. However, he frequently loses them. He’s lost so much so frequently that it’s become known as the ‘Drake Cruse,’ which signifies the person he bets on has a great likelihood of losing.

Interestingly, the ‘Drake Curse’ was recently reversed by UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. ‘The Last Stylebender’ despite losing to his rivals Alex Pereira three times, turned the tables at UFC 287.

He knocked out the Brazilian former champion cold in the second round to reclaim his middleweight title. Drake, who had wagered on Izzy made around $2 million after his win. Thus, the so-called curse was broken.

What are your thoughts on Drake’s UFC betting? What do you guys think about his training footage?
