Fake Drake, also known as Izzy Drake, will face off against Lamar Odom in a $1 million celebrity boxing match.
On June 28, the Drake impersonator challenged the Toronto native to the match via Instagram. In the Instagram video, Izzy agreed to stop impersonating Drake if he lost the hypothetical event.

If I win, you gotta sign me to OVO; you gotta give me $1M,” Izzy said in the Instagram video, which has since been removed. “If you win, I’ll change my name. It’s an OVO ting, you already know.”
