Anthony Joshua pledged to break the spell that has tormented so many before him.
Instead, he suffered the biggest boxing upset in nearly 30 years.
And thus, the “Drake Curse” remains undefeated.
Online sleuths dug up a March photo showcasing Joshua and the famed rapper, along with the bold prediction, after the boxer shockingly fell in a technical knockout to Andy Ruiz Jr. — a 25-1 underdog in some books — Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Of course, Joshua should have known better.
Alabama football, Conor McGregor and the Toronto Maple Leafs are just the latest of teams and athletes that have been doomed by Drake rooting them on.
It seems Drake’s native Toronto Raptors, up one game to zip in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, are the only hope to reverse jinx.
