It looks like the Drake curse has struck again.
British boxer Anthony Joshua seemingly went into Saturday's heavyweight title fight with supreme confidence.
He was so confident, in fact, that he thought he could be the one to break the famed Drake curse, which has supposedly plagued sports teams and athletes that Drake has expressed support for over the years. (It should also be noted that the Toronto rapper has a reputation for being a notorious bandwagon fan.)

But alas, Joshua's heavyweight boxing skills seemed to be no match for the Drake curse, and he succumbed to Andy Ruiz Jr. in a stunning upset -- the first loss of his career.
Believers of the curse were quick to blame Drake. Sure, you could chalk Joshua's loss up to the fact that Ruiz simply fought better, but sports fans are a superstitious bunch.
The jury's still out on whether the curse actually holds up, but in light of Saturday's upset, here's a look at some other teams and athletes whose losses have been blamed on Drake.
