However, fans were quick to point out the infamous "Drake Curse," a superstition that suggests that Drake's support or association with a sports team or athlete leads to their downfall. And sure enough, Paul lost for the first time in his boxing career. When asked about the impact of Drake's bet, Paul jokingly blamed the musician before apologizing and promising to win the rematch for him.
The night was filled with drama and excitement, but it was the star-studded guest list that stole the show. The internet may still be buzzing about Ronaldo and Tyson's meeting, but there's no doubt that the entire event will be talked about for a long time to come.
