A 22-year-old Canadian man who impersonates popular musician Drake has amassed a considerable social media following. He is popularly known as Izzy Drake or Fake Drake on social media. He recently participated in an exhibition boxing fight but failed to prove his worth as he plummeted badly. 

Izzy Drake participated in an exhibition fight against Youtuber and rapper M2thak, in Atlantic City in a Celebrity Boxing match. As per reports, the former was initially supposed to fight Lamar Odom, but Izzy claimed that the real Drake paid him off to not fight him. Notably, Lamar has denied any such rumors.

Upcoming Influencer Boxing fights that everyone is waiting for 

The sport of boxing is one of the oldest sports and has evolved drastically over the years. Today, boxing is not only confined to trained and professional boxers, even internet personalities and other celebrities participate in exhibition bouts. American Youtuber Jake Paul is the prime example of influencer boxing, as he quickly became the poster boy of influencer boxing. 

Although Paul is a professional boxer now, the boxing world expects more for him to prove his worth, as he has not yet fought against a “real boxer”. He is slated to go up against UFC legend Anderson Silva later this month, who is the toughest opponent of his career until now.
