“Summoned the Curse”: Fury’s Drake Connection Draws Superstitions Ahead of Usyk Showdown
Tyson Fury’s latest social media post, flaunting his shredded physique alongside Drake’s hit song “God’s Plan,” has ignited a storm of reactions among fans ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Oleksandr Usyk. The WBC heavyweight champion’s attempt to exude confidence for the upcoming bout seems to have backfired, as fans express concerns over the ominous presence of the Canadian rapper.
Fury’s image, flexing his chiseled physique on Instagram, initially garnered admiration from some fans, with one praising him as the “Champ in Shape Shape!” However, the celebratory tone quickly shifted as critics and skeptics voiced their opinions on the implications of Fury’s transformation and his choice of musical accompaniment.
One fan, while acknowledging Fury’s physical transformation, expressed skepticism over the extent of his weight loss, humorously commenting, “You no longer have dad body, you got mom body.” Another fan raised eyebrows at the inclusion of Drake’s music in the post, bluntly stating, “Drake = automatic defeat,” in reference to recent controversies surrounding the rapper’s influence on sports outcomes.
In captions, he wrote, “Undisputed incoming [hundred emoji] [tick emoji] 18/5/24.”

Pointedly, they wrote, “You no longer have dad body, you got mom body.”
They noted, “Drake = automatic defeat,” in a clear reference to the recent rap beef surrounding Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which according to many Lamar seems to be winning.
They suggested that the only way he could get into that shape so quickly was by “juicing.” They quipped, “Back on the juice again only way he was getting back in shape.”
Speculation about Fury’s sudden transformation also emerged, with some suggesting that the only plausible explanation for his rapid change in physique was the use of performance-enhancing drugs. One commenter provocatively remarked, “Back on the juice again only way he was getting back in shape.”
However, perhaps the most intriguing response came from a fan who delved into superstition, warning Fury about the potential consequences of invoking Drake’s presence. Referencing the perceived “Drake curse,” which has been associated with sports defeats, the fan cautioned, “Damn why u’re playing drake, you have summoned the curse upon you my son,” sparking a wave of superstition and intrigue among followers.
As Fury’s showdown with Usyk draws near, the fervent reactions to his social media post underscore the intense scrutiny and anticipation surrounding the heavyweight clash. Amidst the debate over Fury’s physical condition and the perceived influence of Drake, fans eagerly await the outcome of the historic bout on May 18th, bracing themselves for what promises to be a momentous event in boxing history.
