Superstar rapper Drake has backed Logan Paul to prevail in his grudge match against Dillon Danis on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The MMA fighter and Youtuber-turned-boxer co-headline the highly anticipated night of boxing in Manchester alongside KSI’s and Tommy Fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Drake, who is no stranger to a sports bet, reckons Paul is good value to knockout his opponent who has executed a staggering campaign of personal attacks in the lead up to the fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ‘One Dance’ star could earn around \u00a31.1million ($1.3million) from his \u00a3696,000 ($850,000) if Danis suffers a spectacular defeat by his countryman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old, who caused further controversy on Thursday when he struck Paul in the\u00a0face by a microphone at the final press conference, was not too pleased with Drake’s\u00a0choice of victor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canadian rapper Drake has decided to put some of his money behind the WWE star Logan Paul\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dillon Danis called out the ‘disrespect’ of the rapper and posted this image of the pair\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Danis and Paul were on opposite sides of the stage during the press conference, but came to blows as they went to leave<\/p>\n
‘850 on my head is disrespect,’ he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. He accompanied his post with an image of himself and the former\u00a0Degrassi actor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danis’ physical outburst towards Paul sparked fears the WWE star may be forced to withdraw from the bout.\u00a0The pair engaged in a verbal row before\u00a0Danis connected cleanly on Paul’s forehead with the microphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul was taken off stage immediately, holding his head in his hands, and Danis took to social media shortly after the incident to share a photo of blood on the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Paul’s business partner KSI confirmed to Mail Sport that Paul was \u2018fine\u2019 and able to fight on the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
