Aside from a cool $1million, Izzy has also asked for a deal with Drakeโ€™s record label OVO should he win. Speaking on the We In Miami podcast, Fake Drake said:

โ€œIโ€™m challenging Drake to a boxing match. I just signed with Celebrity Boxing. If you win, Iโ€™ll change my name from Izzy Drake to just Izzy, you know.โ€

On Wednesday (29 June), Damon Feldman of Celebrity Boxing confirmed to TMZ that Fake Drake has been signed up for a fight, revealing itโ€™s booked for 27 August.

Thereโ€™s been no word from Drake yet on the matter, but UNILAD has approached the starโ€™s representatives for comment.

Last year, HipHop DX reported that Drake was all for Izzy impersonating him. Izzy told the outlet that heโ€™d met a professional gambler in Las Vegas who knows Drake personally and was told โ€˜Drake doesnโ€™t have a problem with the impersonationโ€™.

โ€œHe got in contact with Drake and Drake was just like, โ€˜It doesnโ€™t bother me, it doesnโ€™t affect me. Let the guy get his bag. Itโ€™s not affecting me. If you think itโ€™s gonna go wrong if youโ€™re posting him on your [Instagram Stories] and everything, just keep the peace’,โ€ Izzy explained, adding: โ€œHe didnโ€™t really give a f**k, you know? That was the whole thing.โ€

When Drake dropped his new album Honestly, Nevermind, earlier this month, Izzy even filmed himself calling the rapper to congratulate him on the release, posting a clip of the exchange on Instagram.
