      What is the Drake Curse, who has fallen victim to it and is Anthony Joshua the latest?

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA was humiliated by Andy Ruiz Jr back in 2020 as the Brit suffered the first defeat of his professional boxing career.While the Mexican fighter will no doubt take all the glory and thank Snickers for their contribution – could there have been other worldly forces at work in the bout at Madison Square Garden.
      Drake has been posing for photos with various sports stars including Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero – but that hasn’t been a good thing for the athletes
      What is the Drake Curse?
      The Drake Curse is not some plague concocted by a witch, nor a disease – it is a photo with Canadian rapper who lends his name to it.
      In the past, Drake has been snapped with sports stars ahead of matches or major sporting events, before the picture goes viral on social media.
      Yet, the athlete posing alongside the 36-year-old often loses shortly afterwards, with the musical artist becoming a serious bad luck charm.
      Most Read in Sport
      Who has fallen victim to the Drake Curse?
      The Drake Curse started out in basketball, with the artist becoming a part of the Kentucky college basketball program.
      Except they haven’t won a title since, and three years later, they lost a decider against Wisconsin in which Drake bet over £4500 on it.
      In 2013, his hometown basketball side suffered as well, as Toronto Raptors made him their global ambassador back in 2013 – only to soon gain a reputation for choking in big matches.
      Miami were next up, losing 4-1 to San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals – the Florida side were even blessed with the likes of LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.
      In 2015, the Drake Curse moved away from basketball and into tennis, as Serena Williams suffered a shocking US Open semi-final defeat to Roberta Vinci.
      Jadon Sancho is among a host of sports stars to be defeated by the Drake Curse
      The following year, it was not so much a match, but his place in the sport, as quarterback Johnny Manziel dropped out of NFL, despite being a first-round draft pick in the past.
      While it appears like a few anomalies over the years, the Drake Curse has spread like wildfire in 2019.
      First it was UFC champion Conor McGregor to lose to Khabib Nurmagomedov, before Alabama’s college football team were beaten heavily by rivals Clemson.
      Dipping into association football, former Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho posed with Drake prior to losing to Bayern Munich.
      Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was next up by being benched in the defeat to Bayern Munich.
      Drake even ruined Manchester City’s 2019 Champions League hopes as Sergio Aguero missed a penalty against Tottenham.
      Paris Saint-Germain then suffered their heaviest league defeat in 19 years, by losing 5-1 to Lille.
      PSG’s Layvin Kurzawa will be wishing he never posed with Drake after the French side were heavily beaten by LilleCredit: Instagram @kurzawa_20
      Italian outfit Roma even joked they were putting a club ban on posing with the Canadian artist
      Is the Drake curse over?
      Back in 2019, the curse was at its very peak, with many sporting stars falling victim.
      However, in recent times it seems the curse is no longer in effect.
      In 2021 Tyson Fury was supported by Drake online prior to his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.
      The Gypsy King went on to knock out the Bronze Bomber in Las Vegas, showing no signs of suffering with the Canadian’s curse, as Fury retains his WBC heavyweight championship belt.
      Bayern Munich star Alfonso Davies is also immune to the rapper’s curse, as he was pictured with Drake just days before his side was set to take on Bayer Leverkusen back in October 2021.
      The German giants went on to beat Leverkusen 5-1, furthering the belief that the curse is no more.

      Jubulent Grimsby fans during their FA Cup tie against Southampton
      The League Two side travel to another Premier League outfit in Brighton for their huge FA Cup quarter-final tie.
      Grimsby are sitting comfortably in 16th place in League Two, so all their focus will be on the Brighton game on March 19th.
      Why do Grimsby fans wave inflatable fish?
      Mariners fans have been waving inflatable fish, which supporters call Harry the Haddock, for more than 34 years.
      Fans bring out Harry the Haddock for big games like their FA Cup fifth-round clash with Southampton.

      The Saints initially rejected Grimsby’s request to bring Harry the Haddock to St Mary’s.
      However, they later changed their mind, and Harry the Haddock made the long trip to Hampshire along with an abundance of Grimsby fans.
      A spokesperson for the club said: “Haddock is back on the menu.
      “Our supporters can now look forward to playing in the last 16 of the FA Cup for the first time since 1996, safe in the knowledge that Harry Haddock will also be at Southampton to mark the occasion.”

      Local football writer Nigel Lowther joked about ordering some inflatable fish after a game Grimsby won.
      Fans soon caught on and were soon snapping up all of the inflatable fish around the town.
      The Harry the Haddock revelation came off the back of Manchester City fans taking inflatable bananas to matches.
      On the opening day of the 1987 Division Two season, City fan Frank Newton took an inflatable banana with him to watch his side take on Plymouth Argyle at Maine Road. More
